Of course I will cover that bulb. I picked up around 100 NOS 1157 bulbs from my friend Tony D. Come on over and get you some of them. Now, about that non-working clock...the wind -up pocket watch is still here.
Glad the Chevelle is doing alright for you.

Put in a solid 5-6 hours today, overall I feel like I had a productive day.
 One down... three more to go.

  Did some "cad plating" with specialty paint to a few parts.  I need to get back to work on the cross member and frame rails ASAP. Before I know it, I'll have all of these parts cleaned & painted - but nowhere to put them.

That's looking very nice. The fun part is putting all the clean parts back on.

It's a "krylon rebuild", as I've been told. But, I just don't have the space, or resources to do a 1000 point resto. As everyone can see, I am working on the car in a carport. I won't bore everyone with the details, I will just say that the economy has kicked me in the teeth since 2009. I no longer own a home, and make about 1/3 of what I used to. Just doing the best I can right now, and trying to do this automobile the justice it deserves.
Thanks for all of the kind words and encouragement, it really does help.

Hoping to bring mine back home this week for the first time in.....I don't really even know, a month or so maybe. The neighbor thought I sold the car some time last year because of all the time it has spent away from the house having projects finished....

Took the "right" dipstick over to my brothers house, this will stop the leak from using a universal dipstick. Air conditioning has been partially installed so that the hoses can be measured and crimped.

Who did you have rebuild the calipers Ray?
Not much new to report, the other lower control arm is stripped and primered. Washed the rubber bushings for the end links in soapy water, and assembled the end links. Spent about 2.5 hours out in the shop today. Still need to work on the frame and finish stripping the other upper control arm.
