Logan,

I have a "thing" about snakes.... If I would have found a snake, someone would have got a heck of a deal on a V8 Fiero...... I would not be able to get in it! Makes me nervous just thinking about it.....

UGH... I feel your pain, brother.



Greg,

You are going to get me in trouble - that's exactly what I am going to do. If I end up in jail, it will be your fault....lol

Not much to report - had to move it the other day to keep the Code Compliance Nazi's at bay. They say it has to be parked on concrete or pavement - Alrighty then!



I noticed that when I moved it, my new headliner material was coming loose. I fear I did not get the backer board cleaned well enough. Looks like I'll be pulling it out and re gluing it. I may get to it this weekend.

I now have an 88 Cradle to swap into the V8 Coupe. As soon as the XTC is out of the garage, I will be moving the Coupe in and dropping the 350/4spd out. In the next few weeks I will be picking up an F40 6 spd. I already have a fresh - ready to go 383 and will be going through the hoops to mate the two. Then I'll mount them on the 88 cradle and install it back in the coupe. I need to dig up some 88 suspension arms and rear spindles to finish it up. Still don't have a good handle on what I need for the axles but I will figure it out. Since the weather is warming up, I am getting motivated to finish up these projects - I want to spend the summer enjoying them versus wrenching on them.



Stay tuned!

P,

Be sure to use the 3M 77 or 80 spray adhesive. It'll run about 20 bucks for a large can but the stuff really works!

I pulled the headliner out of the Coupe this afternoon. I went to the fabric store looking for the same material I used the first time - none to be found! I did not find anything I liked. I talked to the lady at the counter and she told me about a huge fabric and foam store downtown. She gave me directions and much to my amazement, it's right across the street from my office! Never even noticed it before. I'll hit it hard tomorrow and hopefully I can find the "right" stuff for my headliner. I have 3 to do so I need the practice. I'll give the #M stuff a try on the next one. While I am taking a break from the XTC - waiting on the fuel injectors and the wiring harness - I will get the interior finished up on the Coupe - I really would like to have it done by Sunday. Then it will be in line for some garage time as sson as the XTC is out, it will go in for a heart transplant! I really wanted to do an F40 behind this new 383 but I just need to get it done and driveable for now. The F40 will have to wait. I did look at a Holley Pro Injection setup for the 383 last night - found it on CL but it's pretty rough looking and the guy wants a lot for it. If I were to go this way, I think I'd just buy it new.......$$$$$$ Not sure I want to put that much money in it! With any luck, I'll find some material and get the ehadliner recoverd tomorrow evening. Now that it's light out till 7:30........ Time to get something done!
