    Got the right front shock tower welded and braced, installed the Street or Track UCA on the right side. Installed the strut rods. Cleaned, welded the cracks and old 1.75" shelby/arning drop holes on the left side, prepped and ready for bracing on the left. Welder didn't cooperate, but it stuck...

    Cleaned the new 69.5 and installed a different battery in it. Started my 70 up and let it run for a bit.

    After trying to go home from school friday to get my car all cleaned up and ready for the show saturday and having troubles starting it, I push it back to my house and got the starter off and took it in. It was shot, wouldn't even turn over. Spent the money and got the new starter which Autozone happened to have in stock (shockingly), got it home and put it back in and she's running good as new! Then I made the drive to Tillamook yesterday to meet Mike (yellow75) and enter my car in the Torch Run Show & Shine car show which the Tilla-Wheels club did an excellent job putting on. Brought home 2 trophies and some goodies to start my collection from my first show!
    Thanks Mike for the great time!
