Project "Blown HD" my 6/8 drop/shortblock/heads/cam/blower/tranny install
#421
a little more progress today. I completed one of the jobs I wasn't looking forward too; draining the cooling system. Man the **** is potent! I got one strong whiff and was dry heaving in the garage Anyway, most of the cooling system is removed as are other misc front support/grill pcs. Parts taken off the truck are adding up quick:

a few notes to self:
1. your not a young kid anymore (you can get tennis elbow without playing tennis)
2. get some knee pads (knees are sore, sore, and sore)
3. get some mechanics gloves (hands are nicked all to hell)
4. make a chest pad (that sum-bitch is sore too)
5. wear long sleeves (arms are now nicked to hell as well, matching set )
Bolts/misc items bagged and tagged
old man knee protector (soon to be chest protector)
Inner fender wells/headers off
