I dug out my door handles and outer window felts today. Going to be greedy and work on my car tomorrow. I have the top buffed to the belt line. Going to put the interior back together and put some trim parts back on. I have barely touched it in over a month. Just been so busy with everything else.

So... ended up getting very little done. Spent LOTS of time digging and hunting for things. My quarter trim panels are junk! Pre assembled PUI, back then (2008-2009) they used plastic for the upper part. Won't stay hooked onto the inner panel of the car. I bought new ones... low and behold - they went back to metal like the originals! As if they knew they had a problem. That said, after ordering missing $h@+ and replacing virtually "new" parts that are crap... most of my $1200 gubment check is gone. Still waiting on some essential pieces to arrive. Then I need to finish buffing and throw the rest of the trim on this pig.

Oh yeah... finally got to install these. They are NOS and I have been storing them for about 10 years.

Like those cowl induction emblems, wish I had a good set. Haven't done anything to the chevelle. Been working inside since the weather here as been total S***. Hopefully it improves next week so I can at least go for a ride.

I blocked my chevelle in the garage for a while.
A boat showed up in my driveway and needs new bunks. |

I took the cover off and went for a drive yesterday. Nice day for a change, sunny and warm. Went to our daughters fixed a few things for her. Took a little drive and stopped at the Dairy Queen. Feels good to get out of this house.

I put my 1st scratch in the fresh paint last week. (72) Tool slipped out of my hand.
Got the passenger side all wet sanded and buffed out. Started wet sanding the driver's side, got about 1/3 done. I dug out the 69, started cutting and fixing the driver's side quarter panel. I need to get the metal work done on the 68 & 69 this year.

Well I got another one to do now. I promised to paint it years ago. My buddy is buying fenders and hood for his 71 chevelle. Bought a sander from me yesterday. It is getting serious now. Either gonna be red white stripes or blue with white stripes. He has had a red chevelle since we were in high school. I vote go red. I got a blue one. He put a new engine and did some rear end work on it.
I got the boat out finally yesterday. And I am dinking with one of the trucks. Shopping motors motor part both. I will pull the trigger here before long on something. |
