well, not so much today but lately. brakes are completely done, new master, proportion valve, line lock, lines and hoses and bled already. no leaks made me happy.
new steering is now complete, replaced the gearbox, pitman and rag joint.
I need to double check a few things, and make one modification to the trans pan. and then I can install the motor

You can always come to my house and help with the cleaning. Cause we all know how much you loved cleaning your black car.

With the front bench out being recovered by the upholstery shop, thought it would be a good chance to give the wagon rubber floor mat (cheapie Greenbrier model/no carpet) a good vacuuming & cleaning.
Did find a 1972 dime and two mid '70s dated pennies...and a blue marble.
NO...didn't loose mine.

BTW...build sheet was found neatly tucked under the driver side seat springs.

Bill, great find on the build sheet. I had my back seat out with no luck. I haven't checked the front yet.

Well, it's been a few days, but I got my new chrome clips for around my front and back glass, got everything fitted and the glass glued in. I started stripping the hood in preparation for a little body work and made a set of mufflers for the exhaust. I'm just about ready to take it down the road!

Installed a pair of Monroe Quick struts on the front of my Chevy van today...only took FOUR hours!!
Oh the pain....could have swapped engines in the Chevelle in that amount of time.
