Went to paint motor today and my friends shop was tied up and my motor was still sitting on the test breakin engine stand and not on engine stand for me to be able to paint it. I'm bummed. I want this car done in a month. At this rate it's not going to make it. I hate having to wait on other people.

Had to head back to NPD. Got the mounting plates for the wrong side of the engine. And returned faceplate we bought, because the air conditioning actually uses the "non a/c" faceplate. Since I had to return the a/c faceplate, I decided that I would replace the faceplate that I had....and I even got a dollar back.

::sigh:: Only got an hour in after work tonight. Managed to degrease both upper arms and get one stripped.
I am off tomorrow, hoping I can put a big dent in my work load.

I finally got mine out for the first time this year, since I got the Camaro I've been driving that and really enjoying it, but now that I got the Chevelle out I forgot how much fun it is to drive....It has over twice the HP and TQ than the Camaro which makes the fun factor twice as fun.
I'm lucky to have both cars running and get to enjoy them in different ways. Also, I got pulled over in the Camaro for having a tail light burned out the other evening...I wonder if Tony is going to cover that under warranty as well as the clock not working (ha). I'm sure we talked about a 5 year unlimited miles bumper to bumper warranty when I bought it.
