I went on vacation in May of 2018 with my ex girlfriend. It was horrible. The seats in her car hurt my back. I was layed up the first few days. Then we got in a car accident. I couldn't wait to come home and work on cars. I'll rest when I'm dead.

Finally got the '67 Camaro running with the LM7. Putting miles on it all this week to get the FiTech system to learn.

Also been helping a buddy with his frame off '56 Nomad project...Alston chassis; LS 6.0L w/4L60

I like you way of thinking. I'm going to die while I'm working.

Since last time... I replaced the seat bottom on my Tahoe. I redid the headliner and changed the pump/rack in my Silverado. I took the bed and rear bumper off of my 4wd GMC. Going to replace a crossmember and brake lines while it is apart. (Rusty truck from NH) Cab corners and rocker panel replacement next. Cab corners are nice, but I have to cut them off to get at the rockers. Dreading that job...

Washed and waxed my truck. Re-installed the pro comp alloy wheels. Then I drove it with a big smile on my face.

Got the frame repairs almost finished. Having to replace the fuel lines and pump assembly too. More money that I did not want to spend.

Nope, it is from New Hampshire originally. I bought it cheap to part out, but it runs so good and the interior is so nice - I couldn't bring myself to cut it up.

I have been on vacation this week, using the time to do an engine/transmission swap in my father's truck for him. Close to done, but running out of time.
