'Da Chief . . . So it Begins again

In Today's News . . .

UPDATE

Well, that's a "Wrap" for now most likely.

It has DUMPED snow here in Michigan, big time.



So no more test drives. Hell, it was literally 71 a week ago?

Today? High of 28.

No heat in the garage. So any work will be slow and cold.

Also - we are heading to Florida for the winter soon.

I am done with cold winters now that retirement has arrived.

Just wanted to update all who have been watching my thread.

That's me !

"MR Slacker" to you !!

( ie Takes one to know one . . . )

On a side note, it was 17 F this am..

I decided to go out to the garage after snow clearing duty.

Why? to see how this GM "LT" engine would cold start / move.

Result: Fired right up in a second, backed right up, no problem.

No fuss, no muss.

I have gotta get my seats down like that.. Your floorboards are less lumpy than the late-models (88 for mine), but I think I am going to have to get creative with cutting down the feet of the brackets I have. I just don't seem to be brave enough to cut a slice out of the trans tunnel..

Congrats on another great build! I am sure you will winterize everything before heading out of the driveway and pointing South.

JP- Thank You.

I hope your build is progressing!



Seats:

You just gotta attack it.

This was certainly not an easy task, but I did one seat at a time.

Each side had it's challenges, and the driver power side was "fun"

That said, it's worth the trip. Seats are very comfortable.

Testing... Just trying out the new upgrades.

[cu4whln]

Heading home in a few weeks.. ready to get back on the project.

What happened to my pics? I can't see a lot of them? Uh oh . . .

Can you guy see them in the last few pages??

[SJTD]

Nuttin going back till around Post #300ish then kinda random to about Clunk from rear ?? then ok. I think. Might be remembering wrong from the quick look. Point is there that paging back there was not a post where they reappeared from there back.

So, anybody else having picture issues? Both preexisting and new postings seems to be an issue for me? I have a few updates, not worth it til I figure out the picture issue. (Using imgb website for hosting pics )

Looks like it works

Testing: Hmm, this seemed to work. I guess the new format threw me off a bit ?

As usual, it's my technical incompetence.

Now, if I could figure out why a bunch of my pics are missing!

I have not had any problems and I use imgbb. If it's been a while between posting pics, I have to remember how I did it.

I use my Laptop vs phone to add pics when I'm on the site.

That's a drag that all of the phots you posted were lost. Maybe Ryan from BJ's can figure out where they ended up since they now own it.

I lost all of my pics on my build thread too. 47 pages worth. This, after I spent a few days fixing all the pics a few months ago. Not cool.

My apologies to the forum and BJ's. Turns out my picture problem had nothing to do with the forum at all. My issue has been solved but wanted to come here and apologize for insinuating the problem was with the forum.

Drop and give the forum 20.
