Glad to say I'm still working on The Yam. I'm nearly down to just the shell and keep questioning my decisions of going deeper. Luckily Jim Bound's
videos have given me confirmation that I'm doing the right thing.
Most recently I decided to take out the disintegrating dash and the floorboards in the front cabin. I'm glad I did so because someone previously
decided to just slap down some more plywood over the previously rotted-out floor.
I'm also going to work on getting the mechanicals all up to par (which is kind of a "duh" sort of thing). This will include:
rear rebuild (e.g. brakes, airbags(quad?), paint)
front 1-ton upgrade
bare minimum for engine to "work" for just a bit longer until I know what I want to do (I'm sure it's pretty tired, we'll see what it looks like when
I pull the intake):
intake manifold block-off
original carb install (currently has some Edelbrock installed)
uninstall all AM items installed over the years (lots of misc. wires horribly spliced)
Also on another note, I have tried to create an account on the photos archive and I keep getting an error message saying an administrator needs to do
something about creating my account. No one is responding to the email request to sort this out, who do I contact?
