Repaired two of the four shock retainer nuts. Painted all four, plus the four bolts. These are things I should have done months ago. Front shocks and front sway bar are installed as of 20 minutes ago. (I couldn't stay in for the night without installing everything. I wouldn't have slept tonight. Had to let the paint dry, took forever due to high humidity.) Going to keep plugging along, next up: install OP sending unit fitting, hood lanyard retainers, and barrel nut on the starter heat shield. Also need to tighten up the end links and lower control arm bolts while I am under the front of the car.

Nice pictures, Ray! Thanks for sharing.
I just got my roof stripped down to bare metal. Four checked and dead paint jobs were making me really worried about what I was going to find under there. After an 80 grit massage, it turns out the metal is actually pretty good.

Wasn't today, but over the weekend I decided to get the Chevelle out.
Debated racing but decided I didn't want to deal with all the BS that goes into getting the car ready for the track. Plus I just wanted to drive it so I drove the car to work Friday and then went down to Atlanta Motor Speedway for opening night.  The place was pretty packed for opening night of Friday Night Drags  Brought home a souvenir  It was something fun to do on a Friday night I suppose.

There were a number of nice cars out for opening night though. If it was much closer I would probably go just to see some racing every Friday night.

Will be loading the Chevelle onto a trailer and heading south to a car show this weekend. Still need to get the frontend aligned before I make any long trips with it. Weather going to be in the 80's. Warmer then normal for this time of year, but I will take it.

Got the mufflers replaced on my '70 wagon and the pipe joints all welded up nicely yesterday...installed stock Maramont replacement mufflers ordered from Summit...very quiet!!
 Had some cheapie turbo mufflers on it that were obnoxious and had to go!! Grand kids like to ride in the rear facing 3rd seat.
