Good Man...Our cars are meant to be driven.
Just not in the rain or snow.

You would probably sell more cars if you drove it there more often. Something really nice to draw them in to look around.

I work from home so I didn't drive anything, anywhere. I did order a new set of intake manifold gaskets for the Chevelle from Summit yesterday. Surprised they're not here yet. May have to wait until next week to install so I can drive the car this weekend.

Weather's been too crappy around here to drive it much... We've had only 2 days this month w/o rain so far.

Summit is slipping, my last order took two days to get here...what's with that? It used to be order by 9pm and it on my door at 10am the next day I'm not sure I can live like this anymore.

It showed up, since it was just their standard shipping I guess I can't complain. I know we're at the end of the UPS route. Intake is off, old gaskets oil soaked as I suspected. Cleaned the heads and walls, have to finish cleaning the intake. Then I can set the intake in to see if it's warped. I did notice the RTV at both ends was paper thin. Wonder if that is preventing the intake from sitting down all the way. I did order thicker gaskets and I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Good for you Gary! Hagerty would have a fit if I drove mine to work and something happened to it.

My Chevelle I took to CB10 is still in the trailer tied down. I was going to pull it out yesterday until my DD decided it needed work.
