I finished prepping the dash and glove box. I doing the inside of the glove box this trip. Outside next. It all masked. Humidity is perfect. I got to get the wife soon from school. I am basically waiting for the temp to reach the expected high. I am on marine alert. Hurry up and wait.

I picked up my car today !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hooked up the battery, turned the key just enough to let the fuel pump do it's job. It took two tries and she started right up. A little feather footing it and she was running on her own. I was a giddy little girl, now I just had to get it out of the storage garage. And let me tell you it was a tight squeeze in some spots. Brian, the manager is awesome, he walked me thru every tight corner and ramp. I got outside, put the plate sticker on, pulled out of the parking lot....

and did a BURNOUT !!!!! I just couldn't resist. It wasn't a huge one but just enough to get my blood pumping.

Brought it home and as soon as my brother got out of work I went to his house and picked him up. I brought him back to my house and he drove my car back to his house. You know what, this was the first time that someone else was actually driving my car since the rebuild, other than having test drives after repairs. It was a really strange feeling.

While my brother was driving to his house I could see that he really wanted to get on it, but the slow movers always seemed to be in front of him. Then we were making a left turn onto a 45mph street and I thought here is his chance. But NOOOOOO, what was sitting at the corner....a cop.... I couldn't help but laugh. We made the left and as soon as the cop was out of sight I got beside him and egged him on to "get on it". He did and when we got to his house he still had a huge smile on his face. Now comes more waiting as he installs the mufflers and re does the seats. I have realized that I have so many parts that are barely used that we have changed, like the seat covers that are in it they may have been in the car for 3 years and are still in like new condition.

9 hours of masking today for the under hood jamming and the window tracks. I am tired. 16 miles of tape and plastic. And i still got a few more hours left. Have I mentioned I hate finding overspray?
