I do not think I am going to risk trying to paint it in this humidity. I have the driver's door ready to go back on as of today. Maybe Friday I will hang it and start on the passenger door. After that, i am going to push it aside and wait for more favorable weather.

I have a ton of welding to do on the vw and his 72 Malibu in the meantime.

Finally got the Master Cylinder rebuilt and installed yesterday. Bled the brakes and drove out to a car show. Now may be the time to think about selling it. I just don't drive it much anymore. I had to laugh yesterday when a 2018 Dodge won best muscle car. There was a lot of a classic muscle cars there nicer them mine. I don't expect to win, just went to have some car time.

My car is sitting in the garage waiting for the nice weather again.
Not to many folks do car shows in this heat and humidity.
Good thing is that some shows are requiring 1990 and earlier.
If i wanted to look at brand new vettes id be at the chevy dealer.

Truth! A few friends and I are toying with the idea of a cruise in that imposes a 1981 cut off. We're tired of mopar weiner row - full of new challengers, mustang row - full of late models, Camaro and Corvette row - full of, you guessed it... more late models.

I can't help myself and usually yell, "Look! A used car lot." They love it.

Removed some of the old rubber off the rear tires. Put down about 100' of rubber starting at my neighbor Darrel's house. That's about it. At least it was easy, not much effort at all.

Good luck. Are you advertising it nation-wide, or just local?

Nationally, right now just a couple of groups on Facebook. Going to add to that daily.

Take the cash from selling the engine and build a small building, just for paint work? Have a canopy put up with sidewalls?
