Probably bolt in the freshly recovered front seat and go to a local cruise tonight in the wagon. The middle seat was dropped off yesterday to have it also recovered...not ripped or torn but faded and colors now didn't match the front bench. Probably do the third seat next.....

Spent most of my morning over at my folks again. Did the liquid electrical tape trick to the driver's side valve cover, bolted it down with a new gasket, PCV gromet installed, driver's side manifold on - had a slight interference with one of the ARP head bolts, required minor clearancing. Passenger side lead pipe on, I built extensions for both lead pipes out of scrap. Temporary, will quiet it down enough to get the car to the alignment shop and exhaust shop. The rest of the spark plugs are gaped, indexed, and installed on the driver's side. Parts store forgot to get me another doughnut for the exhaust, otherwise I would have installed the other lead pipe and extension. I am finally starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel... hopefully it's not a train!





My crap-tastic, temp exhaust pipe:

Carpoor, you have been getting so much done. I wish that I could say the same.

Drove the Chevelle today on a nice sunny day. Clean and polished it up for a show next weekend. Also cleaned a polished the pickup since everyone was gone for the day.
