    Drove it to Franks house (50 interstate miles) to meet up with Tim and Collin and to show Terry1 the rear disc brakes setup. While it was on the lift I notice one of the tie rods loose at the adjustment sleeve. We called Mike to see if he had a spare tie rod just incase the parts store didn't...he did, they didn't. Mike brought the part over to Frank's and we went to lunch. We replaced the tie rod when we got back to Frank's shop.

    A Large Time Was Had By All

    got the second door on got both fenders on bled the breaks adjusted the carb finished spraying the outside flat black. removed the interior wiring harness cleaned up the trunk floor and sprayed it. vacuumed out the 1/4 panels at the bottom. found some work to be done there later sprayed the back seat area flat black poked my powder coated comet emblem in the old seat to see how its going to look on the newly upholstered seats. (y) bolted the steering wheel down.wired the ignition switch up to start teh car with no harness.
    and did a fat burn out and broke my lower ball joint since I didnt have the car aligned yet after replacing the whole front end. :chirp: oh well thats what warranties are for anyway
