    Put it in the shop Tuesday, had suspension and steering parts replaced I didn't feel like getting under the car doing after I had replaced UCA's and roller spring saddles last week w/ aftermarket units. Also, had my AC evac'd/charged for the trip to Lima next week. Got it back today w/ air blowing cold and steering much improved. Ready for the road, where real test will show if I need any more attention to Borg conversion...

    Thanks! I was thinking about black, but you know what, I might have to do that!

    Bumper guards have to come off and the bumper will be that color too.

    Finished building my fiberglass fan shroud. I didn't want to pay 150 so I made it instead for 40. Also finished wiring my taillights and started the car for the first time in 2 months!
