1976 Big Block RC build

[ProjectM880]

I took out my rear seat out of the death charger. If you want it for your rc

[SixGun]

Thanks for the offer but I actually have 2 for mine. The original white one and a fold down one that matches the tan buckets Ryan sold me from his 91.

You sure you don't want three ?

Is it gold weave and come with a truck attached?

I noticed that my "new" radiator from the 77 W200 has a passenger side upper and lower inlets. My water pump housing has the drivers side drop.  Hmmm...went back and picked up the matching one at JY. Also took the center dump exhaust manifolds since they are getting scarce apparently. I should have picked up the motor mount brackets as well for the same reason.  Oh well, next time.

I really need to make it down to the JunkYard!

A weekend at Ernie's for another marathon engine build.

So the RC will be ready to wheel next month right?

Looks good

Next month is transfer case

Anyone have a source for the two long exhaust manifold studs (6.99 a piece x 4= $28 @ Napa)  or the heater hose outlets on the water pump housing?

[crazzywolfie]

have you possibly tried calling another parts store and pricing them out? that seems a bit ridiculous for a couple studs. is there a place that mainly sells bolts and hardware? wouldn't hurt to try them. i remember replacing some studs on something and they were only like a $1 or 2 each and i think they even came with nuts.

[SixGun]

We found a kit with 3 in the HELP section with the washers and nuts but they ended up too short. They were $8 for 3 each. He's got some places around town that may carry them that weren't open on weekends. He's just a real busy guy. I'm going back in a month to pick up the transfer case and we will wrap up the loose ends hopefully.  Came out pretty awesome. I'm excited to say the least.

Looking good Richard! 
That thing will be a beast on the trail

Check out these trees at the in-laws house. Its not an optical illusion. I've trimmed as many lower branches as I can. Those suckers are big and tall and over the house. Some branches are starting to break. Check out the one over the Malibu.
