I feel for him. I know how they can be. Birdie, my 78 T-Bird, got Extremely jealous when I was given a van that got better gas mileage and started craving attention. I'd give her a little lovin' and she'd be ok for a bit and then get mad again. She finally tried to break up with me by letting her cam shaft gear wear down to the point that I couldn't turn her on anymore. However, my love for her still burns and I've been saving up to buy her something special.

Drove the K5 for a bit yesterday after it has sat for almost a year. There's something wrong in the steering that I'll have to diagnose and repair. I'm not sure if it's the ball joints, center link joints, or a problem in the steering box itself. I replaced the drag link joints a few years ago and that had tightened up the steering quite nicely at the time.

Might be time to get the passenger side knuckle machined for high/cross-over steering and put that 90 2wd 'burb steering box in.

Not Blazer related, but, I put together a new computer chair Seat out of a 2013 Impreza.

Next victim is a Z06 Corvette seat! I love working in a salvage yard lol

Started removing trim and badges then ran her down a muddy road. Might need to build some fender flares next.
