Chasing a Hot-No-Start issue with the Chevy. Headers are doing a number on my starter. Latest attempt is swapping to a modern gear-reduction starter (still using remote “Ford” solenoid as well). We’ll see if this finally works.

All 1/4″ plate and 2x2x1/4″ tube, held in with 5/8″ bolts.
Now I just need a license plate flipper upper!
These should finish off the wheels nicely.

And I HATE dropping transmissions. It all went together well, 2500 stall, and the shift kit went in without following the directions (less likely to break parts this way). The last of the seals in the transmission were replaced – hopefully less Exxon Valdez happening.

The “Truck” rallye’s I ordered way back in August are now, ultimately, unavailable. So…. “Vette” rallye’s then. And BFG’s. Because Old School.

My Panasonic Plasma TV didn’t turn on. Instead, it just flashed the power light 10 times over and over. A quick Googling gave me THIS VIDEO that indicated which boards inside the TV were causing the fault, and what to do about it (two chips and a two 1uF capacitors). A few other sites suggested it is only the caps causing the problem.
Since it didn’t work anyway, and since the extended warranty expired just last summer, I really had nothing to lose. I happened to have a couple 1uF caps and a good soldering pencil. I followed the video and took the thing apart, changed the capacitors, and lo and behold! It worked! Yay!
The offending capacitors, from unavailable boards MC201 and MC301
First coat of body colour done.
