I gutted the suspension on the 71 Vette yesterday.
Gotta make room for new coilovers!

Been working on the new to us motorhome. Taking the dinette and coach apart to clean the upholstery. The motorhome wasn't abused, everything works and it's in good shape. Just needs a very thorough cleaning. If the guy had kept it clean or cleaned it before selling it he could have got a good 25% then he did. Okay by me, I'm willing to do some cleaning to save a lot of bucks.

Separated the engine/transmission harness from the body. Seeing how easy it was to remove, I'm going to swap harnesses, this one is already repinned for my electric fans and 4L80E swap. No sense in undoing and redoing that work. Also got my stereo crossovers out of the truck, kept forgetting about them. And I installed the EGR block off and ported TB onto my intake manifold.

Rear differential is out, didn't take long... but with 104* heat index it was brutal. Another step closer to being able to scrap the carcass.

I have been so busy. Between David and Jacobs BMX bikes and shows, buying and selling bikes and shipping them, transporting my daughter to and from work and AA meetings, transporting my grand daughter to baseball 4x's a week I have not had a lot of time for anything. Even my car. I have only done a few cruises and maybe taken her out a few times to just drive. I can't wait for the NOCC show. Just to get away from it all.
What happened to your daily driver flash.

I removed the broken aftermarket radio, ball of wiring, and non working amp yesterday. I figure it will give me a jump start on that part of things.

My left front brake caliper locked up on my drive into work yesterday. It cooled off enough to limp it home after my 8 hour shift. I dove in and did the big brake upgrade today in between rain showers.
Before and after pictures show how much better the new brakes fill my 18" wheels.

Done nothing on mine as we are still in Ohio at the show ,leaving early in the morning .I did have to change plugs in the Malibu today on the show field as she is still fouling plugs and using a good bit of oil.We are going to limp her home one more time and then dig in to see what I find.

Started to do more disassembly, pulled something in my neck/left trap. Then shortly after the rain started.
![]() Not much got done, but upon further inspection... I feel that the bed is fixable.
