Sure is different nowadays. I remember using Mom's sewing thread for ignition wires and fuel lines. Drilling holes? What's a pin vise? I used to use a pin heated up over a candle.
And they checked your oil too, Harry.
We had a wet day and it's still cloudy. I don't really care because it's Friday and time for pizza, popcorn, and WWE Friday Night Smackdown.
Thanks Al. It's kinda sorta stock except for the valve covers, air filter, and Fatkidd style distributor & fuel filter. By the way Al, one of those Lynx air filters has your name on it if you need it and it's already shot in Alclad.
I like self checkout. It's really fun to use at Home Depot and/or Lowe's because a clerk has to come over to verify my Veteran ID for the 10% discount.
Thanks Lee & Ray. ray, you need to get some of that texture paint. It's really neat stuff for replicating undercoating, bed liners, and who knows what else.
Finally finished this puppy after having to strip it 4 different times. I guess the 150 was a pretty basic Chevy, so I used Rustoleum texture paint on the interior instead of flocking. Kinda/sorta gives the inside a basic look. I decided to use the 4 bbl option on the engine instead of the FI. Oh - instead of normal black & white, I used HOK snowhite pearl and black pearl.
