Went over to the shop today and put a few items back on it getting ready for installation

I'm thinking it has the wrong top power steering bracket on it.

Left work early today, hit my 40 hours for the week early. Started loading paint stripper on that last control arm, and sure it enough it started to rain shortly after.

If it lets up this afternoon, I'll try to finish stripping it by hand with sandpaper. Then lay a coat of primer on it. I am hoping for little to no rain next week so I can finish cleaning and painting the front frame section and cross member.

After everyone at work has been asking for over a year to see my car I finally took it today. The whole dealership was totally amazed by it.Really did not want to do it as it made me feel bad for some of the guys.I am not a showoff by nature,I think that is the main reason I dont really like car shows.

Why did you feel bad for some of the guys ?

Gary, you have worked long and hard to achieve what you have with your car. I think everyone who works on classics, has classics, appreciates all the work that you have done to your car. I think you should go to car shows. I don't think it would be showing off, I think with your car you would be showing people a beautiful machine. Besides, you are one of the people I would love to see at a car show, because you are approachable. There are a lot of people out there that have these beautiful cars and just want to sit there and win an award for it, I know that is not who you are.

I pulled the AC compressor off my Chevelle this past friday. The front seal behind the clutch assy was leaking oil. Hope to have it back together soon so I can be C@@L and look C@@L all at the same time.

Glad to here you got the car out. I like car shows to see the car, not for the awards.
