Geeze, spent way too long on the net trying to find transaxle gear oil capasity. Finally... 16oz or up to 1-1/2" down from top of fill hole.  Lol, one site said 2.5qts🙄

So went to parts house for a qt of 80/90. Put half in each and that did bring the up to 1.5" below fill plug. I thought it was hard to get that rubber plug out.... way harder to get it back in.

Dog was still with the sad eyes gloom about my brother leaving yesterday. But today he is back to his goofy self. Had to holler at him twice for doing zoomies in the house.

Yesterday

It makes me smile every time I walk by. Hopefully by spring and maybe sooner. It was my first new car. Every thing wrong with it I did. Well except for the bondo a "friend" put on it when he painted it for me. It is falling out now. Maybe it needs a thread.

I'm glad you are getting it sorted out, it's a lot of work that other family members don't understand.

Sixball, glad you got the K5 back out. Those are so cool!

Got my brother back on the plane yesterday morning amd he made it back home. When i got back from the airport, poor old dog stood staring at the door waiting for brother too come back in for an hour. This morn he is sitting staring at his bedroom door.

The shipper for the Vette should be here within the next two weeks to get it out to him. He got most of my stuff done for me. Ran out of time to finish the chassis swap on my mower. Did get the engines and wiring harnesses swapped. The V-twin just about gave him a hernia lifting it out.  I have all winter to swap bodies and tire/wheels over.

Gotta stay motivated, sammons.
Finally the rear fenders are done.
I welded a bunch of pinholes, ground and hammered and dollied.
I took the fenders off the car and ground things more, as good as I could, hammered more, then
 painted red primer as a guide coat and block sanded the fenders, hammering from the
inside and the outside, sanded more.
Ooff, it looks so much easier when they do it on youtube.
When I felt I had done what I could, I slip rolled  1/8" by 3/4" flatbar to hold the inside fender
edges tight to the wheel opening, drilled holes for the screws and mounted it all back
to the body.



There's still some red on the fenders, and of course I didn't get it all smooth, but an
undisclosed amount of filler will help, I'm sure.
Now I'm ready to get on with the front fenders.

I took a pic of some left over pieces of old and new fender edges.
The original has a wire, around which the fender lip is rolled. My new ones are just a
1/4" round bar welded to the fender lip. The result looks almost factory.
