I think the 72 Malivert was getting jealous of all the attention my 72 California 4x4 was getting and demanded some attention .A week ago Sunday I was going to drive it to my Mom's about 80 miles north and just after filling with gas a guy said youre leaking something up front .Open the hood and the lower radiator hose was leaking .Took her back home and parked it in the home garage .Got the hoses and then when I decided to take it to my shop to change the hoses it would not start ,battery cable had fell apart .Get the cable repaired and got the hoses replaced .Now I need to replace the 10 year old tires soon. Now back to the 4x4 .

I picked up a new quarter panel for the 72'. I need to strip the roof, both doors, and about 70% of the passenger side fender. Things are about to get messy.

Not today but couple weeks ago, bought UMI rear upper and lower trailing arms and installed with my stock sway bar. Today adjusted my slapper bars they were hanging down to low.
Took it for a drive and gas, had a state trooper stop me to tell me I couldn't use YOM ohio plates. Car is registered with historical and the dated plates. Showed him the registration and he informed me he didn't care what it said I was illegal running those plates. Said he ran them when I was at the gas station and they came back as a 89 Mercedes. I asked why did he run my plates while it was parked? There was no violation. He couldn't answer that just told me he wasn't giving me a ticket this time but get the plates off the car. I'll take my chances, cause I know he's wrong.

Well I been screwing with that silly boat since I got it. Wife is starting the last semester of college. So once she graduates and gets a job. I will get paroled from Hobbyshop Prison. 400 dollar books and tuition is killin the poor ol chev right now.

Anywho today I got a family get together for a birthday this evening. So I taking the day off from my usual work I do. Wash the van then spend the rest of the day with the chevelle. Put the charger on it. Give her a good wash and detailing. Wax her with the new Fancy Smancy UV protectant boat wax. Then just sit in her a long time and detail the dash. Listen to the stereo and make Vroom Vroom EEERRRR noises like a kid.

If i get all silly fix the chips in the paint under the hood. Been a while since we spent a little quality time together.

Not my chevelle but a chevelle. 66 convertible in primer just the body and frame. On a truck going to someones house. Bodywork looked good. No doors trunk or doghouse. But what was there was done right.

It is definitely on the way to being fixed.

I am doing my best to try to plate my car in Texas but between Grundy and the Texas DMV , I am going crazy. I thought that I would be able to transfer my car insurance, but no, I have to totally reapply with Grundy. This is such a bummer.
