didn't have much time so all i did was mask the door area so i can paint the door jams. today i hope to sand the roof nice and smooth clean the whole car with wax and grease cleaner and prime the door jams and doors. Once those are primed paint the door jams and doors on the part where the door jams cover it put the doors back on and get ready to paint the rest of the car.

I'm sitting here in one of our plants in Querétaro Mexico and thinking I need to get the gas tank back in mine when I get home so I can drive it as I really do miss it. But since I got the Camaro and it is running (except the clock) there is no fire under me to get it done.

My gaskets will be here tomorrow morning. Planning to put it all back together and get it ready to go back in. Still need to touch up the engine bay and repair the exhaust manifold.

Zip, zero, zilch. I did wash the tires and but some AmorAll glaze on them. the other day. It dries and isn't sticky like the silicone, oily stuff.

Son bought a house and moved his tool chest out of my garage. So I've been rearranging mine. I have a 3 piece Craftsman's set, 2 pieces were in the garage, 1 in the shed. Now all 3 are in the garage and I still don't have enough room in them. I think I need another bottom section, you know, 1 for the SAE tools and one for the metric. Like metric pliers, screwdrivers, adjustable wrenches and hammers. Don't want to mix that stuff up with the SAE stuff.

I have been so busy lately that I haven't pulled my car out of the garage. I was hoping to do some cruising this weekend but it looks like the weather is not going to cooperate on Saturday and on Sunday my daughters are in the finals of a competition called Oakland County Idol and that starts at noon so it kills the whole day. But I hope my girls do well, 1st prize is $500.00.

Mostly back together with new gaskets. Just need to touch up some paint and repair the driver's side manifold.

Pulled the front tag off my wagon this morning...stopped by a buddy's sign shop to see if it can be duplicated.
Heading out the 1st thing tomorrow morning to attend the 11th Annual CanAm Chevelle show held in western NY.
Surprised more of you MI members in here don't attend this show...only about a 4 hr drive from Detroit.
Awesome venue and always a great turnout!!
