    Been bogged down with tests for the past few months and haven't been able to work on the cars all that much. I was able to make a deal with a very nice lady and got some awesome parts for a good price. Made my week!

    Removed the dash. Man, there's a lot of bolts and whatnot keeping that sucker on there.

    Changed the oil and realized the following:

    How I like my milkshakes: Chocolate or Vanilla.
    How I don't like my milkshakes: Oil and Coolant.

    took another 100 mile trip...Effie asked me to go to the store and pick up a few things. I tossed a small cooler in the Mav, hopped in and went to a little town about 50 miles east of me.
    had the A/C on low and had frost on my kneecaps...:yup:

    :drive:...:chirp:

    Pulled parts off my 76 parts car then started working on my 73 for the first time in a year. Rebuilt the carb then dropped the gas tank to clean it and will line it tomorrow. Also took apart of sport mirrors and rebuilt them.

    Oh that illusive, wonderful thing called paint....I cant even dream about it until I get to cover my car with a roof instead of 6ml plastic.
