If it uses set 20 bearings then it has a seal on it already. It will rest in the cup under your finger. My Super 88 kit uses them and I put some silicone around it to keep it from leaking. Remind me... Isn't the super 88 kit the C-clip eliminators? I started to use that on my mustang, but I wacked the ends off and welded on 9" ends with 8.8 bolt flange. I called Moser and they said it was CR1542 seal.

Knocked out a couple things last night... Bought my wife's Christmas and tweaked the roof for my trim. You can see the trim doesn't line up too nicely with the roof curvature. It made about an 1/8" - 3/16" gap in the corners between the trim mold and roof line. I may could have fixed this if I thought about it when I was welding the roof on. But I'm past that point... Essentially, I need to be able to raise the trim molding up. I highlighted what I cut out. I cheated, I tigged a little silicon bronze rod in the corner and filed it smooth. You can see the silicon bronze in the color difference. It's much easier to file than the normal rod I use. Rinse and repeat on the other side. Hammered and dollied the corner back. tig'd up Slicked up Good thing I don't have an abundance of lead and my grandfathers old lead working tools... I could be having all kind of fun. I'm sure I'd suck at it, but I'd love to try.

I spend a lot of time in the shop, but I eat good... At least when I'm not drinking beer on Tuesday nights. So my window trim had some dents... Hell, I probably did it taking it off. I tear up more shit taking stuff apart. Don't let me take your interior apart, I'll break every clip you got. But once I've put it back together, I've got it all figured out. After I buy new pieces of course... Aftermarket trim is flimsy as hell, not to mention expensive. Brought out the hammer, dolly, cold chisels, and filed it smooth. Slicked it out with some 80 and 180 sand paper. I'd buffer her out to a nice shine, but I'll paint it black anyway, so I'm at a good stopping point.

Don't know if I mentioned it, but anal retentive shad came back out. I didn't like how I place my dash, so I drilled it out and re positioned it. The driver side was a 1/3" inch back, been bugging me for a year now.

A little out of order, but I made a window clip stud attachment for the Harbor freight stud welder. I never really liked the idea of using screws for the clips.

The wife got me some plastic strips for the door to keep the heat in for the winter. I didn't even mention it to her, she came up with it on her on...

Not a whole lot done to the camaro, been doing some skim coats... That's about it. However, I did find me a donor truck for the drive train. The only problem is, I'm having so much fun with the donor, I may not want to pull the organs. I bought an old 1997 phone truck With a rather healthy transplant... Freshly built LS(Mostly stock with cam), Freshend up 4L80E with high stall converter, Small frame turbo, 14 bolt posi, upgraded fuel system Nice little air to air intercooler My wife and dog enjoys it It pulls the shit out of a trailer... And gets groceries...

Yeah, the engine is a baby LS out of 07ish truck... No burnout video's, however I got some nice black marks by the shop where I practiced launching. I laid down a little VHT, but it just isn't the same as the track... A few of us guys from around home talk a lot of smack. Mainly just keyboard warriors, but we're good friends and have a good time. Here a run against a buddy's ecoboost. This run netted me a free steak dinner at Long Horns. You can hear were I let out at the 330 mark... Here's a run against a my buddy's dodge. About a 8-900 hp dodge, if you listen to him it's a 1000...lol. He first wanted to run for $500, then backed down to $100... In his defense, it's a fast truck, it's just so damn heavy. Here's a run against my other buddy's camaro. He got me off the tree and made me run it out the back end... Not posting the video of the turbo camaro that beat me...lol I was a little too aggressive off the starting line.

That's cool, and the truck has its own facebook page. Ive heard about that truck from a buddy who is building a 6.0 turbo s10.

Yeah, I first saw it at Cruising the Coast last year and then later started following it on that page. When he posted it for sale, I saw that the drivetrain was pretty much spot on with what I wanted in my Camaro. I drove down to Louisiana to check it out and was really blown back by the quality of build, the layout of the turbo kit, and the builders attention to detail. There's nothing really high dollar about the truck, but he spent money were it needed to go. We all know, that little stuff adds up.
