    Did not work on the Comet, but moved almost all my parts onto 24 feet worth of our new 70 feet of shelving. The floor is now as clear as can be!

    Your shelves look GREAT!! :dancing:

    Now they are all filled up and you need to build more shelves - it never ends, does it? :cry:

    I thought the "goal" was not to need shelves but to have all the parts on the car...:yup:

    Yesterday...got the 3 patch panels welded in the engine compartment that I needed. Didn't get to finish them because my back was hurting too much, but at least I got them welded in!

    Also traded off a Centerforce clutch I couldn't use for a pair of 255/45/18s!

    Put some anti freeze in it today as it is supposed to get down to 24 tonight. Started it up and the thermostat didn't open, so I replaced that too.
