Yeah, sure did slow it down and along with the servo motor it'll crawl real easy, way more controllable than with a clutch motor. Got the pulley coated yesterday, looks a lot better now.

Thanks The bobbin tray came already mounted in the table it is pretty handy, probably could get it separately I would think.
Went to Tandy yesterday, that place is really cool, this one is fairly small but they still have a lot of stuff, they have a huge selection of material, stuff is a bit pricey but it's top quality stuff, gonna have to some practicing on junk vinyl before I jump into leather, don't want to be turning that stuff into scrap.

Realy!!?? I did not know that. I need to get the chevy squared away before I can take the Taco apart. It is so random when it doesn't want to start. It didn't want to start Saturday morning. I jacked it up crawled under and had Gina turn the key. Stupid thing started. And has been  So I'm going to connect a light to the solenoid connector. That way I can tell if it's getting power or not when it plays it's game. Getting power it's the starter. No power Something upstream.
Due to weather on Saturday I couldn't work on he Chevy to much. Doesn't seem to be getting power to the starter. I checked and swapped out relays and that didn't do any good. Neutral safety switch I'm not sure of. Tried testing a couple of the wires and not really sure what goes to the starter. I do have 3 that get power when the key is turned to start and die when in the run position. I have one with power all the time when key is in run position. Before I went that rout, the truck wouldn't start in any gear I put it in. That's as much as I got done due to the weather and I had to get the yard cleaned up. Was looking pretty sad after all the rain

I have been told it could be that or ground. I was going to work on it over the weekend but something bit my a$$ and I have been down for the count since friday. Also been told that replacing the PRNDL switch most times the plug breaks along with the old switch. I guess there is no way to save either one, just plan on replacing.

I wanted to go around the corner over the weekend but been down all weekend. If you have some scrap around or can get your hands on some for real cheep that's the best way to get use to it and know what the machine will do. When mine sits for awhile that's what I will do to make sure everything is working good before I dive into anything.

That sucks, hope you feel better soon... Yeah, that's what I plan to do, wife said she has some thick vinyl I can play with, think I'll start by making a cover for it and one for my mini-lathe, that'll give some practice.

Redo the seats and clean it up and flip for a few hundy.    Or terrorize the hood  Â
Those seats will be a piece of cake to do. So many things you can do cheap and they will look great. Gas carts around here that are running are no less than $2k

Yeah, figure it shouldn't be too hard to redo the seats, even for a newbie This one is electric but I have to clean and re wire it there's a lot of corrosion, it's a 95 and all original and had minimal service if any at all. Not gonna flip it though, gonna $hit can the back seat and mount about a 20gal sprayer on the back and a battery on the bottom and use it to spray the whole place down a couple times a year. If I could win the Powerball I'd concrete the whole fkn place.

I thought it was gas. Should make a great yard sprayer for sure. We acquired one for the Drag Program that's electric. Had to do a lot of work to it but it sure helps out the O'l legs running around all day/night. I'll try to get pic's next trip to the track.

I thought about getting a gas one, but since it's gonna sit a lot more than it will be used, I don't feel like dealing with the maintenance of cleaning and draining the system all the time, found a place on E-Gay that sells wire in bulk for a pretty good price, shouldn't take much to rewire it.

Didn't get much done over the weekend. Got the coils and their mounts off the chevy. Also was able to get the Neutral safety switch unplugged with out killing anything. Used a little heat like CE suggested and the plugs popped right out. Saturday picked up a new switch while out running around in the rain. Spent late afternoon cleaning up the coils and the mounting rails. I'm going to try to get one valve cover off and back on this evening and the other tomorrow. Hopefully get the neutral switch replaced by the end of the week. I would like to try to get to the boat this weekend and possibly get the taco in the shop next week. Clock is ticking!!!

Well, you got the worst part done anyhow removing and cleaning, things go a lot smoother when it's all cleaned up. Didn't get too much done either, had running around taking care of $hit that was put off too long. Also found out I need to replace the gas tank and power steering pump in the Nova, got them ordered and should be here Thursday, I'll get them in over the weekend.

Sprung a leak somewhere, went out in the shop and got a whiff of gas, started looking around and couldn't find anything, walked under the car(it's on the lift out of the way)and looked up and spotted a wet spot on the bottom of the tank by the strap, probably leaking at the seam and running down, at least this one is easy to to replace especially on the lift.

Got the valve covers done and back together on the chevy. Going to try to get the neutral Safety Switch in it this evening. Was looking at pulling the drive on the boat this weekend, but don't want that all open with all the rain coming in next week. Maybe I can get the Taco in and get that done next week before the rearend pukes for good and kills something ells.
