I updated the truck's web page with some TBI swapping information.
07/21/02
Gina's car is fixed and I just finished a new page for it.
04/26/02
Just got a new white top installed on my Z24. Yeah! Picture is on the Z24 home page.
03/23/02
Updated Z24 home page. New ASP underdrive pulley is installed, and was worth the purchase.
03/15/02
I added a picture of the Z24 with its new wheels!
01/13/02
I added a page to the Z24 site detailing the manual transmission shifter.
10/10/01
I added a page to the S-10 site showing off my new wheels. As always, there's a story...
9/26/01
I added a .PDF scan of a Super Chevy magazine article on the '92 Z24 convertible, and updated
all the pages to be W3C compliant (added character set encoding).
6/11/01
I fixed the audio of the truck (typo in the filenames). I also posted some pictures of the
Z24 and one of myself.
6/10/01
I posted some audio of the truck idling and running through the mufflers.
They can be found on the Edelbrock TES header installation HOWTO. Dad and I
tried to get some salvage-yard parts this weekend for the truck, the Z24,
and Justin's Caprice to no avail. We've been really lucky up to this point,
so we figured we were due a trip where we didn't get what we wanted. It
was a nice day to be outside, though :)
6/5/01
I posted some links on the S-10 page for my header installation and my sway bar installation
HOWTOs.
6/4/01
I finally have high speed internet access through @Home. I will be moving
the web page soon. My email address will remain the same as will the web
page address.
I took some pictures of the Z24 last weekend and as soon as they are
developed and scanned, I'll post them. I also fixed the left rear
speaker, and found an interesting potential rattle. Go check it out on
the Z24 page.

Dad and I just finished installing the new front end under the truck this
weekend. Buddy Jenkins came over and was an invaluable help (thanks!).
Allen came over later, too. The P-S-T bars went on fine, and really
helped. The popping is still there, but some discussion on the S-series
list leads me to think it's the engine mounts creaking.
I finally reassembled my Z24, too. The shifter's been out for a long time
waiting on the model shop to make some bushings for me. They didn't get a
chance to do it so I'm going to wait a while and try again. I think I
don't have to disassemble the whole car to replace what I want to change
now that I've had it apart and know what I want to do. I still need to
adjust the heater cable (it's out of adjustment) but the car is otherwise
intact.

Dad and I just finished installing the Edelbrock headers on the truck,
They fit great! Sounds can be found on the s10hist.htm page. I took some
pictures with the Canon AE-1 camera (the only one Mom had film in) so once
they get developed and scanned, I'll write an article on the swap.
Dad and I also installed new Bendix rear shoes and wheel cylinders in the
hopes that my braking will have some simblance to real brakes. I tried to
find a drum-brake adjustment tool (big vineer caliper used to measure the
drums to allow setting the shoes right the first time). I think E-town
Distributing has it, and if so I'll buy it after I get my exhaust done.
I'm debating on whether to have a single pipe in the stock location, or
have two pipes exit under the bumper. Two pipes looks cool but I want to
make sure that it won't cost too much or hurt exhaust velocity.

Smokey has retuned from the vet from her spaying. Except for a shaved
belly, she's doing fine (frisky as ever).
3/4/01
I've redone the site completely.
Gina and I have been puppysitting for this past weekend. The dog's owner has
decided to not keep the dog. Gina will be taking him to the vet (859-623-pets)
on Monday to see if they can find him a home. He's about 6 months old, black,
10 pounds, looks like a black lab / spaniel mix (but small). He is paper-trained,
understands commands such as "No", "come here", and "bring". He is good on a leash.
I think he's a lost pet, but Gina thinks he was dropped. He was found in a field
during a geological survey. Nobody responded to an ad in the local paper, so Gina's
friend ended up with him. If he is a pet, this is a perfect reason why NO PET
should be without the Avid Friendchip ( http://www.avidid.com ). If he had a chip
the vet would have been able to locate the dog's owners and his vet.
