I decided to remove the Bad Ass Fender Cover just to see what the car looks like and possible drive it off the rack.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/18/20230918213527-1d7be2c9-me.jpg

Well, the car did start but was running horribly most likely due to a very low battery.

I have been following CJ Kuster for a couple years now and a couple weeks ago he asked if people would like their car ''Tooned''.

I jumped on the chance to have him do a sketch for me for many reasons.

Reason 1, He is really cool artist and I love the stuff he draws.

Reason 2, He is true car guy and will be using the money to modify his handicap equipped van.

Reason 3, This man has found a talent in himself the 99.9% of the world could never do.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/18/20230918214004-00ae814d-me.jpg

I want you guys to look closely at the name of his studio. Yes it says "motormouth".

CJ is paralyzed artist and he draws and paints with a brush in his mouth.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/18/20230918214027-6fd15f4f-me.jpg

Here is his story.

Please, please take the time to read it as his story is truly inspirational.

I am sure I said this before

The last 10% is takes up 90% of the time.

+++++ Missing Image - will add soon. +++++

I used the good old blue tape to make the pattern.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/18/20230918214104-e7dd1f27-me.jpg

Gently removed it and placed on a 20 point piece of chipboard. You can also see the inside pattern
which is what I traced while it was stuck to the kick panel.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/18/20230918214108-3c0e5385-me.jpg

Since, it is easier to remove material I added more of the pattern which was a good thing.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/18/20230918214111-66667e8a-me.jpg

First Test fitting.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/18/20230918214058-f0711f48-me.jpg

I traced it out on some thin sheet metal and made the first piece.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/18/20230918215602-510f5322-me.jpg

My main reference point is the wire clamp and it seems to fit really well.

Wow, One and Done !!!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/18/20230918215604-4ca71178-me.jpg

I marked the location where I felt it was safe to drill.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/18/20230918215607-2ce53a95-me.jpg

Drilling some holes and yes I am wearing my "Tap Cap" so when I am under the dash my bald head doesn't get
cut up from the dash brackets.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/18/20230918215610-b029192d-me.jpg

Time to screw it in and make it look final.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/18/20230918215618-4eeb8e86-me.jpg

My supervisor told me to watch my head as there is a bunch of sharp brackets under the dash.

So, I ordered a set of LS Valve Covers from California Company's Amazon Store. Talk about a lack of quality control and the
lack of care in how they ship. Both valve covers were wrapped in the thinnest bubble wrap and of course they shipped them in a
giant box. This allowed the valve covers to bounce around in the box and get more damage then they had previously had. Yes, they
were previously damaged and they rattle canned them before shipping. I know this because the bubble wrap had fresh black paint on them.

Right now I will be removing the beautiful Carbon Valve Covers trying to isolate the leak issue.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/23/20230923094444-e9baee94-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/23/20230923094449-38b215ed-me.jpg

I was very excited when I saw Amazon drop them on my front porch.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/09/23/20230923094509-bb53f1b7-me.png

Then I picked up the box and heard them move around in the box. Insert very sad face here.

If you need the stuff that day then a local purchase is the only option. I keep a supply of the most common size bolts, screws, washer, and nuts in my shop, buy them from Mc Master Carr. Far cheaper than what you've been paying.

Andrew was kind enough to log back into my car and tweak the tune just a little bit. He confirmed my PWM fan connection
to the Holley worked and we figured out that my thermostat wasn't opening.

We also assumed that there was still air in the cool heads and he sent me out to get the Funnel fill set up.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/10/01/20231001134402-02586c8c-me.jpg

I’m glad you’re making progress, Marty. It’s playing out like you said about the last 10%. Hopefully not much longer.

I hope to drive the car this Saturday.

I forget where I saw the funnel being used for the first time, but after I tried it, I was sold.

This is such an awesome way to fill these motors and it sure was easy.

With or without the bike for transportation backup?

What is happening here? Are those bolts tight and the belts can't swivel?

Couple of observations, I can't see your car from here but based on this picture.....

I think the harness bar is backwards. What you have as the front should be the rear. That would allow the belts to point up from the bracket and wrap over the top of the bar to the seat. As it is now, if you ever needed those shoulder harnesses, the seat belt loops themselves are just going to fold up.

If mounted the way I described they would be loaded in tension.

Hi Donny,

All of the bolts are tight and the brackets can't swivel. However, since the brackets are so close together I need to put a
washer behind one of them so the brackets can be flat. In the rare occasion that I have a passenger in the back seat I was
worried about them bumping the bracket. On a side note you will have to be one hell of a contortionist to get back there.

Here is a side shot of what it looks like and I am open to your advice as I this is all new to me.

Thanks for the side pic. That is all wrong and it will never be perfect but it can be better.

Turn the harness bar around so the welded tabs are on the back side but still pointed down. Then bolt the harnesses on the back side. I would consider bolting them on with the angle going forward even, assuming it will fit that way.

Side bar. Nobody you like should be sitting in that back seat with that harness bar there.

CONGRATS MARTY!!!!

Next time you need to fill up the cooling system on an LS, keep the top hose loose and fill from it, it will ensure you get the entire block full with hardly any air left in the system. It also bypasses the thermostat so filling is much quicker. Basically the same idea as pulling the thermostat housing from a SBC/BBC and filling the cooling system from the thermostat hole in the intake. Makes a huge difference in the end.

Rule #1 Don't go to Sema when you are building a car that may or may not go back to Sema. Why, Because you are going to see some really cool stuff.

I am pretty sure it was Mark that said this. If you have an hour to spare head out and do one of the small projects. So, I installed
a Burn Out Switch to prevent my friends from doing a burn out when I am not around.

It's kinda funny as this bring back memories of my old cars from back in the day. I would say we have a problem
here and it has nothing to do with the builder. My guess is it's overfull because the cork gasket is saturated
and it is weeping out.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/12/18/20231218222023-9e401297-me.jpg

I learned a little something about the 4L60E transmission today.

Apparently, there is an automotive case and a truck case. The truck case has more capacity thicker walls and even
has a larger filter. This would be why none of the standard transmission pan actually work. It's good to have those
Phone A Friend on speed dial to walk me through some of the learning issue along the way.

The most important thing I learned is that cork gaskets suck, and if the pan is slightly overfilled and it reaches the
gasket it will eventually saturate the cork and will continue to weep out the sides.

Apparently, There is a cork/rubber gasket that works extremely well so I will pick one of those up along with some other stuff.

Let's pray I don't have to use the oil dry.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/12/18/20231218223006-2fce4c5c-me.jpg

I removed all but four bolts and lowered them down just a little bit so I can see how much spills out.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2023/12/18/20231218223013-de0bc791-me.jpg

I held the pan up tight and once I lowered it just a little it started raining trans fluid. The funny thing is I filled it to
the full level on the lokar dip stick which looks to be about a 1/4 inch to much at this point.

unfortunately I had to sell it before I could finish it. I think this is the year that I am going to try to find it and buy it back.

Hi Donny,

The trucks with Give-A-Ways in a contest and unfortunately I did not win the contest. But I did find one for a good price and I drove it home from St Louis.

The red line on the Lokar Dipstick represent the max full which is about 3/4 below the bottom of the transmission case. The blue line is where
I filled the trans to at this point. Which is about a 1/4 lower and once I am able to drive the car ( weather sucks here ) I will top it off.

derp You're right, I got it backwards.

So twice, I have had 4L60s that just wouldn't seal up no matter what I did and in both cases the Lokar dipsticks were wrong (and opposite of yours) and the trans was just way overfull.

I had the same issue and of course I overfilled the trans.

Continuing the side bar. Did they really just cut to tops off the doors to do the T Tops?

Yep, they were all give-a-ways in the contest.

Mods included

Lowered Suspension - Blocks in the rear
Targa Roof Conversion - Roof stores in bed
Power Rear Glass - Lowered all the way down
Guidon Bed Cover - To cover up the roof
Recaros Seats - Very comfortable
Sony Sound System
Boyd 17'' Wheels

That's really cool history on the bench vise, Marty.
(I have a bench vise and floor standing Delta drill press from the 1950's, that my father-in-law got back in the early 90's from IBM in Chicago where he worked as an Engineer. When he unfortunately passed away over a year ago, he wanted me to have several of his tools that included the bench vise and drill press...meant a lot to me.)

I love having tools that have been past down as I feel the people that gave them to me are with me when I am in the garage.

Back to the car...nice work! Those magnets for wiring/hoses are pretty trick. What size is that steering wheel you got from Screaming Chicken? Looks like a nice steering wheel.

It's a 14" wheel which fits me perfectly when I am sitting in the car.

This little light is freaking awesome. It's magnetic and it brighter then it needs to be at full power and the best part it can hang on your belt loop.

I love having tools that have been past down as I feel the people that gave them to me are with me when I am in the garage.

It's a 14" wheel which fits me perfectly when I am sitting in the car.

https://screamingchicken.com/1970-81-camaro-firebird-thin-spoke-billet-steering-wheel-kit/

Best part is they are a site sponsor.

I agree 100% on feeling like the ones who passed down the tools are with me when working in my garage. [emoji41]

Good deal on the steering wheel. [emoji106]

Never, did I think this was going to be a big job. I figured it would take a few minutes. Boy was I wrong and thank God the seats were not in the car.

First one is in and it will be feeding the center of the lower dash.

Routing the duct work up to the underside of the dash. I used yellow zip tie's so I can seem them if I ever have to cut them.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2024/04/22/20240422161253-1b412488-me.jpg

However, I plan to paint it wrinkle black.

There is so much that has to be removed just to adjust the drivers door one popsicle stick forward. I think these Fender braces are from Ride-Tech and I love how they look.

I have been going back and fourth with Holley about the gas cap part number and apparently
a batch of gas caps were packaged incorrectly. I only know this now that I went back to
Auto parts store and picked up another cap with the exact same part number and it's
completely different.

What sounded like a simple task turned into a calamity of errors and mass frustration. When I put the car in reverse
it displayed "N" which was odd as the car drove prior to this.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2024/07/08/20240708182040-ac0288f9-me.jpg

I gave the car a little gas and the car just didn't want to move, it struggle to move as the engine's rpms increased.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2024/07/08/20240708182046-492c0813-me.jpg

Then it got worse, as I was backing up the jack pads caught the subframe which pretty much stopped the car. I got
out of the car and blocked the front tires and jacked up the rear end so I could move the sliding jack.

Thankfully it has rubber pads so no damage was done.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2024/07/08/20240708182055-270a59d4-me.jpg

Of course I forgot to move the tire block and once again the car stopped moving. Ugh !!!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2024/07/08/20240708182111-21ab6968-me.jpg

I did manage to get it out of the garage and turn it around and as i was backing up I noticed the Brake Lights where
on even though I was not in the car. That will be tomorrows project.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2024/07/08/20240708182115-bb61b2f7-me.jpg

Then the heat hose started leaking and that is why you start a new project car with distilled water in the radiator as it
is much easier to clean up.

I was talking with Ron Wilson and we laughed about all the things that happened yesterday. It was just one of those days
where if it could go wrong it did. So today (the 6th) I went back out to the garage and decided to work on the cars issue's.

Grampa's Ashtray being used a small parts holder

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2024/07/08/20240708182151-1d2a5f34-me.jpg

Step 1 Remove AC Lines

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2024/07/08/20240708182153-af0f90e6-me.jpg

Step 2 Identify the bad hose clamp

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2024/07/08/20240708182157-8347956b-me.jpg

Step 3 Make sure you go up in the attic an bring down a couple towels to protect you Anvil Carbon Inner Fender.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2024/07/08/20240708182200-71d8ae99-me.jpg

Step 4 Get out the heat gun and cook the Gates Hose clamps again and pray it works.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2024/07/08/20240708182203-c4611a0a-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2024/07/08/20240708182219-ed915d8a-me.jpg

Step 5 Check the Trans Fluid and find out it was a quart low, add fluid move on.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2024/07/08/20240708182208-dbbd602f-me.jpg

Opps, I spilled a little which means it probably going to smoke a little later.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2024/07/08/20240708182211-fd34f2bb-me.jpg

Step 6 Start car and run it through the gears and if it feels let's go around the block.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2024/07/08/20240708182302-4fc05dd8-me.jpg

I finally figured out why it got stuck on the lift. Apparently the front end settle all the way down to 3" from the ground.
I originally set it at 4.5" and I am guessing all of the parts that went back on the car lowered it.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2024/07/08/20240708182312-f48b4e71-me.jpg

Here we go.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2024/07/08/20240708182307-61b7a163-me.jpg

Yep, It started smoking while I was driving it.

When I pulled out the Car last week I noticed that it settled a little to much. Since I had two hours to spare I decided
to run out to the garage to raise the front end at least an inch.

Thankfully, the car has Ride-Tech Coil-Overs

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2024/07/17/20240717195754-2860c92d-me.jpg

Hi Jimbo,

The spoiler bolts to the lower valance and the front lip of the fender arch.

It is a one off piece Kenny built that I am planning to take to VFN fiberglass over the winter so they can make it in fiberglass.

So behind the scenes I have been struggling with the PCV plumbing. I am fighting a oil leak from the back of the motor.

For now I am going to vent the Oil Fill Cap and do version 5 or 6 of the plumbing.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/upload/2024/08/26/20240826172959-bfceb4aa-me.jpg

I walked into the needed size by using various drill bits.

I agree 100% However, I still need to figure out why the computer is no longer talking to the transmission.

On a side note, I did pick up a foam insert for my Headsweat Hat. Think of it as a Tap Cap or if you are bald like me it gives you the warning that you don't have when you have hair.

Hey Skip

Well, I am back on it and the more I dig into the issues with the trans. The more I regret it.

So the trans is garbage and the Wagner motor is also junk. It’s leaking everywhere and the hypothesis is the a few of the rings are bad or broken.

I am going to pull the trans and give it to a different trans shop to look at it. Even though the I plan to buy a new engine and transmission.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250708/e1cef5d855d3542e81fed1e11c7e5f0f.jpg

If you look way back in the beginning of the build I used this set up to get the trans out.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250708/8413f3f2bd11225a5011b75491f5be82.jpg

Since the trans pan is beautifully powder coated I am going to put a stamped steel pan on for removal.

Marty,
I hear you on the leaking... in my shop the boys say
all my cars leak... some way more than others.. no fun
My last pantera engine we found out that Quench on the motor
too tight, pistons too loose in the bores so a lot of blow by
It basically blew out any gasket on the engine

Going to use Moroso evac system on the new build
similar to what Drag racers use with a check valve
Like using a Vac pump but no room in my Pantera engine
bay for a real Vac pump

Hopefully you get this resolved as LS engines are not suppose to leak

Since the Wagner built motor is going to the Junkyard less a few parts. I am going to be ordering this Motor & Trans
from Speedway Motors and cutting my losses.

Marty,

Wouldnt ot be cheaper to replace broken rings and reseal the engine than buy a new one?

To me (I known Im different) new can just be another train wreak. Do it myself, I know whats going on and who to blame..

We have a saying here about leaking american cars:
If they are not leaking, means that they are out off oil. LoL

No, LS is pretty good keeping fluids in. Old school stuff, not so much.

Just an FYI.

That engine is 24x on the crank reluctor. (Disregard that, I see it was an LS1 to begin with, so 24x shouldn't be a problem) That may or may not play well with your exisitng electronics. It's also an iron block.

You definitely don't need a 102mm throttle body and sheetmetal intakes suck on street cars, especially with an auto and a 102 mm throttle body.

I'm also on the plan of having existing parts freshened up locally. FinishLine can fix that trans for sure and there are a number of competent engine shops around.

Yes, however this will would be the fourth time the engine has been rebuilt.

I have thrown more money at this boat anchor and I just can keep doing it.

Is this the original LS that you started with and Wagner did a rebuild for you?
I'm not familiar with Wagner?

So Kenny called and said ship the car to him and you know what I am going to ship the car to him.

Now I just need to pack up all of the pieces that need to go with the car.

Yes, this is the original hood from the car and the cowl hood will soon be hung in my office.

I've always preferred the look of a stock hood on the second Gens. Unfortunately they don't allow a lot of room underneath.
