Dropped my the gas tank and fixed the leak around the sending unit and un-stuck the fuel level float! Glad i have a working gas guage again!

Still working on getting out the seized o2 sensor. o2 sensor socket, vice grips, chanel locks, pipe wrence, liquid wrench and a propane torch couldent get the sucker out! Gona take it to a shop saturday and see what they can do with it.

Its not a problem of leverage. I just cant get a good bite on it. Everything keeps slipping. I even dropped the drive shaft so i had more room. So now its all rounded off and destroyed looking. I even took a hammer and chizel to it and couldent get it to turn!

Changed the oil, then stared longingly at the engine wishing there was more I could be doing to it right now.

Finished my RC 3 inch lift finally. Rebuilt the rear drum breaks - wheel cylinders, drums, both hardware kits, brake lines, shoes. Put a new gas cap on it. Test drove well. Drives straight, brakes feel good, steering wheel is centered. Looks like i got lucky as far as vibrations and alignment.

No I just finished it about half an hour ago. It's 10:50 pm here. I want to learn more about alignments anyway so I'll read and research and check it myself.

With the help of a good friend and a ratchet strap i replaced my blown RC upper ctrl arm bushings. Looks like the shop i had install them didn't grease well enough. Oh well, i learned and the warranty made it free!

Also cut my fenders more so no more scrubbing now that i can go full flex.

Sent from my iPhone because web wheeling is cheaper...

I just drove her to as close to empty as possible. Since I seafoamed my gas tank I figured I get it all out as much as possible with any gunk with it. Wish my company phones camera wasnt too crappy would have snapped a shot of the line being on E
