Drove the car out to dinner last night. Fun to finally be able to drive it more now.

I got my work getting caught up now. I got the big stuff done. Engines in for 2 people. Now I am rearranging the garage to chevelle status work again. I got smaller jobs but I can do them without a major catastrophe going on.

I pulling the chevelle parts I need back out and arranging them for inventory so I know what I need to buy soon. For this next stage of work. I got to move the car in the heat once I get my next few jobs done. Get it good and hot for putting the top on.

Then I turning the car around in the bay so the nose is toward the open area. So the cherry picker is easier to use when it is engine time. It still a ways off but I seeing the light. I should get a bunch done this fall and winter on the interior and finish the outside trim.

I got a pen solder gun the other day for the radio work I got to do. Need something a little more delicate than the pistol style one I usually use. I got to call the stereo place back and see if they can get me the plugs I ask about.

Been a busy month for me and the chevelle. Finally been able to drive it more with a job that doesn't take me out of town any more. Was at 2 car shows this last weekend, one sponsored by the club and one with some friends. The wife's project needs to start back up, so it may be a slow month for the car.

Not sure how I did it, but managed to damage the back of my driver seat. Put a small tear in it. Guess Ill just replace the back. Been wanting to change the seat cushions, so I guess this is the time to do it.

I finished swapping in new A-arms and steering components with disc brakes on my '67 Elky.

Spent some time working on freeing up the 350 out of my Malibu. Basically squirted some ATF in the spark plug holes, exhaust ports, and dumped a little in the intake. Also dumped some used oil down in the intake as well. (Heard it works well)

I am seriously going to see if I can free it up, then do some small repairs and get it running. If I am successful, I might restore the frame and firewall - then try to get it roadworthy. Rust, dents, and all. Why not?
