What have you done to your square lately??

Put new bed to frame bolts on, and cruised to an old friend’s house out in the country. Haven’t seen Joel in over a year, so it was great to visit!

Pulled it out of winter storage and freshened up the paint. Runs very well with the new 350 crate engine. That project I did last winter.

Spent the whole weekend with my son on his c10 restoring the exhaust and changing valve cover gaskets. It would have not been possible without a torch to heat and soak hardware with pb and reheat etc. I would have been searching for parts otherwise. it was fun doing the same thing to his truck that I had to do to mine. Only difference was that I put on long tube headers lol.

The Bilsteins are great- took a loop around town.

Got home and had a few minutes so upon Steve Dulcich’s suggestion, I picked up some of this Dawn stuff and started cleaning the M/T valve covers. This stuff is awesome! It actually was working better than brake cleaner since it hangs around instead of evaporating.

I hit the raw aluminum parts with a rubber eraser wheel, then some fine grit sandpaper, being mindful to only go in one direction. They weren’t in perfect shape, so now they’ll have a mild brushed aluminum look.

Dang!! Those came out killer!

Yeah, not too bad. Looks like they were powder coated from the factory with a rough texture- I’m just going to rough them up a bit with some sandpaper and hit them with some satin. The bigger challenge will be making baffles for them since the ones they made for them are unobtainium. Heading to the hardware store shortly to see what screws the mounts take and to pick up a piece of sheet metal to fabricate my own.
