Yeah , but it all went wrong now....it's ruined

Nah, Kennedy no longer sells the liner in green or brown. It was described on a old ad as wool liners. Kennedy does offer some PVC composite only in black. Copied and pasted that a ways back....don't think everybody was following at the time.

The old boxes on e bay have it though.

You can get green liners 3rd party as well...but it's not wool. I posted the links for those way back.

I'll go back and look at those links.

I was wondering about the wrecker too. That ought to be interesting to see how it does and sounds.

My parents had me come over and set up their new 70" Samsung TV. They sent me home with their old 57" TV, which is a HiSense. Not the greatest brand ever, but... I'll have a decent sized garage TV. Gotta get creative with a mount. Might need to put the welder to use with one of my ideas.

OK - I'm.convinced. Best case every for a remote start. My temps are about the same [TOO] near 'Frisco. Can a remote start be done on Tenth Gen's? You know - so we can Drive our morning walks. Might even get me to TRY some morning walk - LOL ! A remote start could change my world! The house is dang cold in the morning. A warm truck would give me a reason to get up, earlier!!!

Thank U-Noob! But I think I want tires and an HOH kit first.
On, no - I have to sand and paint the roof first, (think I'll get a bargain belt sander.) And seal the rear window. Scurrying to dejunk the bed and pull a near-new fridge from it, now, so I can help a young wrench move to his own, new location, tomorrow.

Back to work on the Camaro, finally have all the parts for the fuel system.
Well, to get it back running.....
It has a 3/8" fuel line, then a 5/16" fuel filter, to give it a 1/" return before the 3/8" regulator and carb inlet.
I have plans to correct it to all 3/8" and add a gauge between the regulator and carb.
(It was originally Tuned-Port injection but has been changed to a carb)


Got the fuel access panel done, I rounded the corners on the disc sander, and straightened & beveled the edges on the belt sander.
I have been waiting for the snow showers to stop and the ground to dry up a little to pull the Wide Glide out but decided to just pull it forward.


1st load into the blast cabinet.


Not looking too bad, I was worried I might have to change the media, it's from 2010.




I bought a restoration grade media, it is pretty fine, and doesn't remove any metal.

Still seems to be doing the job even after over a decade!
