I think of it like rubber ducky program troubleshooting. Explaining it helps you understand it more clearly and see any gaps in your logic.

I am an engineer who does tons of boring technical...

It has taken a long long time but it finally started. I thought it was a timing issue so I tried adjusting it with no luck. I had tried the injectors it came with, a spare set that I had, a set of...

The Buick is so close to starting! Final few wrinkles being worked out. Every fluid went in, every fluid leaked, every leak was fixed..

No progress lately. I will be doing some more soon though since I have my lift assembled.

How will you secure the cords between the linked lights? My lights are 4' fixtures with 5' cords between them. I am mounting them directly to the ceiling and then using wire staples to hold the...

What lights are you installing?

I know right.... Sorry about the vertical camera work... I didn't even realize it until I was editing it and felt lots of shame.

I couldn't find any scaffold that was tall enough and big enough to...

Update with a tour of my shop and the plan for the future!

Be brave and strap, insulate and drywall it myself. I am going to build a 8'x8' work platform out of wood (with handrails) on casters that I can move around and be able to reach safely.

No progress on the Buick yet but I did have some fun with other projects. I worked with my brother to unload his Essex truck and put it into storage. He was working on it for a while but with a...

I think I have it traced to the relay that powers the coils and injectors, the ECU then switches the ground to pulse them. I think I either didn't wire the power supply and ground to the relay...

The new manifold is here! I had a helper to thrash to get it all together and we try to start it!.

Good info, I will look him up. I am using the HP ECU.

Now the scary part, trying to manage the ECU and setup the tune correctly! I would appreciate anyone providing advice/feedback on this stuff!

I did actually almost drop the engine, the equalizer/adjusting lifting bar I was using decided to spontaneously disassemble while I had the engine and trans in the air. It fell about 2' and then...

A long time since the last update but I have made a fair bit of progress. Torque converter installed, Engine/Trans dropped in, and getting ready to start! Here is the video:

LS with twins is almost too cheap, dependable and powerful now. I would rather waste my money on a engine that has less aftermarket options, worse components, lower redline etc...... I am not a smart...

Somehow in the past 50+ years the fuel filler assembly from the car vanished. I have tried searching for a stock replacement with no luck. I decided to make my own using a generic fuel filler...

For something that no one will ever see it was a ton of work..... Those are the type of thankless jobs that go into building a car cheaply though I think.

I did a few more little jobs while waiting for some parts. Worked on beautifying the parts you will pretty much never see because that seemed like a good use of time! It was a lot of work so I...

Here is the build thread for the car I worked on before this Buick, a 1929 Willys I build from ground up! It was alot of fun to make!

With good disc brakes on all corners, 350hp, and good trailer brakes I think it will handle a 5k lb boat pretty well. I was doing some reverse engineering on other newer cars and I think I have...

Thanks man! Also thanks to the mod for putting this in the right area.

I am in progress of building a 1955 Buick Special with a Gen 3 5.7 Hemi, and air ride suspension. I am from the Calgary area and have posted here a little bit before. I am trying out making YouTube...

After almost two years sourcing/waiting for tires they are here!

Winner!

I wonder what will be left of todays cars when they are 80+ years old. I don't see them lasting near as well nor being nearly as collectible as cars of that era.

Had one of those productive days where nothing really looks different. Finished welding in the new panel at the back and the passenger side fender splices. Also started the kick out to the firewall...

Car is back home now after just over a year getting worked on by Unobtanium.

Here are some pictures:

SOLD for asking price!

Already has a 2.4L turbo from the SRT-4 Neon with a Stage 3 turbo upgrade. Somewhere around 350 hp is the plan.

I made the new piece to cover the coilover mount on the passenger side and welded it up. also made the second tie down for the hood for that side.

Aww you are hurting my online feelings.

Doesn't the saying go "it is better to try and fail then to actually drive a neon?"

Engage srt4oa circle jerk.

You left out the key statement there mibz, "Probably not".

There is only 1 manufacturer of tires that are approved for the speeds I plan on. They have been sold out for 18 months now and they finally agreed to do another run of them in July. I have not been...

The pretty cage is not my handy work, it is all a local fabricator (Langdon)
