Project: Chain Reaction update

[Bow Tie 67]

I started the motor last night. I was releaved that the wiring seems to be in order, at least it did not release any smoke. :git:Especially considering it was taken completely apart and rewired with a hodge podge of different year 4th gen harness's and some custom wiring. So far so good, in fact I heard no piston slap that is prone to the LS1's. I was surprised that the 3" Magnaflow system was rather quiet, although the girlfriend said otherwise. :naughty: I still have hopes in making the RTTH3 with it. No pics at this time I'm just to buisy and have alot of work ahead of me.

See thread New Project for most recent photos.

Hopefully your right, bleeding the brake system now and then it's the clutch bleed and windshield installation. I can almost smell the rubber now. :D

So you gotta be getting close to making the first run by now, if you havent already. Hope you get it done for RTH3. By the way Bob and I are leaving late thursday night like we did last year. You're welcom to join.

It just hit the ground on all fours, setting up the suspension may be a pain. I'm going to try and drive it today, weather permitting. Also without the passenger seat, door glass, hood and rear window, not to mention other pieces that are not considered necessary for travel.

Hey, :postpics:

Well the camera is acting up, its on the ground, but still cant drive it. I have a wiring issue with the rear turn signals. There is still alot of work and I'm getting discouraged. I have 3 full days to work on it next week but without some seat time there is no way I'm driving 10 hours in a fresh project. The 95 may be going, or I may just fly my a** down and watch.

well can always trailer it down if ya want Matt i have the truck and trailer to do it..then can beat crap outa it..lol..or just think youll have 365 more days till next years rtth4..and it might be painted by then..:poke:

[Bow Tie 67]

I'm done for the night, I doubt it will have paint by next year, I hate the body work aspect of this hobby. Blah!

[HILROD]

More work, less talk.:help!: :hammer: :hand: Did you get your lights working?

[Bow Tie 67]

I addressed the wiring problem, and found out without the daylight running module I need to jumper four wires for the front turn signals. The rears still have an issue with the circuit boards. I may end up running incandescent bulbs for RTTH3, if I make it at all.

[dropit69]

whaaa make it at all ..you better be there even if you have to bring that beater of a 95 you have..now get busy !!! :drive:

[HILROD]

I hear tell that this thing drives. Now I haven't seen it with my own two eyes, but maybe this will get him going!:6gears: :6gears: :6gears: :drive2: The last one is what would happen with that old steering wheel hub! Less:Alchy:,more:drive1: .
