ALF the car has 186,000 miles on it. I plan on doing suspension upgrades and rebuilding the engine and tranny. I am still looking into performance upgrades for the LT1. Thanks for the link to the vette forum gave me some insight to the body dolly build. You from CT too...so you know the rust battle well. Thanks for tuning in.
This is all temporary until I build the dolly. I wouldn’t recommend anyone doing this but having lifted houses off foundations, supported upper level of porches while repairing the lower level, moving and staging many heavy pieces equipment and moving stones and heavy blocks that weigh in the tons. I have a lot of experience with rigging heavy items. I enjoy the challenge especially when access to equipment is limited. Garage is locked and I have the key when I am not around. Again do not try this at home.
A couple of years back I bought a QA1 suspension kit that included the control arms to align the rear tires in the opening, So yes i am aligning the rear tires. I am going to have Talcott transmission in West Hartford CT rebuild my transmission they are very close to my work, this will be my 3rd transmission they will rebuild for me and I have been very happy with their service. These 4l60e are so common that any Tranny shop that's been around for any decent amount of time has already had plenty of practice and should do a good job on them. If they provide a decent warranty you'll be good. I would recommend always going with the guy closest to were you live that way its not a hassle picking it up and dropping it off. Talcott recently rebuilt a 6l80e tranny for me and it comes with a 3 year unlimited milage warranty I put on a lot of miles so that was a good deal for me. We were able to read milage off of the PCM using a GM tech 2 scanner I am going to make a video in the near future on the tech 2 scanner and great tool with a lot of ability even on a OBD1 car.
