Had the pinion seal replaced today with the help of a friend, front end alignment is done. Turns out I had it really close when I put it together. Car needs a good cleaning for tomorrows show. Next project is figure out where I have an oil leak at. May be the left valve cover. Also layed a little rubber down today.

Removed the complete front suspension from the '70 wagon today.
I've had new inner/outer tierods, sleeves, a-arm bushings, center link, ball joints, idler arm, & sway bar links sitting in a box all year.
Figured what the hell... I'll rebuild the front end before the trip to Ohio. Most was in decent condition but the bushings are dried out and cracked.
So....

I sanded down one side of the chevelle today. Way too much work to be doing it in this heat, but it's got to be done.

Believe it or not, I actually was able to wash my car AND go to a car cruise. It seems like it has been forever. Maybe because it has been. But we actually had a nice day in Michigan.

Car went back to a dealership today for the first time since it was sold at one. Had our club show today and I feel it was a sucess. A lot of hard work was put into it by all. Car was there as a display only car for our show.
