I know it is funny because it dont run. But I detailing the POS. Been 2 hours so far. About to wipe the wax off then do windows and dash. Gotta look good sitting there at least.

Now you know why it is taking so long. One thing after another puts it on the back burner. But that is why it is a hobby they say. My buddy says it is my therapy.

Yup, just a hobby. I don't mind working on the Chevelle. The other cars, that's a different story. If the Chevelle doesn't run at the end of the day, no big deal. It's not my daily driver and there's always tomorrow.

Not the battery. Wonder if my ground now is the issue. Could be a starter also I guess. When I try to start it nothing happens, doesn't even click.

Buddy brought me some wax over. The old style that takes the paint off type. Got to cut the grass tomorrow but I imagine by the week end i be rubbing on the paint some more. See if I can squeeze a little more shine out of it. Here is a few pics from yesterdays work. It takes lousy pictures indoors needs to be in the sun again. Reflections hide the silly colors.
I been concentrating on getting the rubbing compound out of the creases. Removing buffing swirls. Just you know playing. But at least i working on it again instead of looking at it. I need to tape it off and undercoat it and the tank so I can put that in.

I finally got around to rebuilding a horn, both of mine are dead. Need to rebuild another then hopefully Ray can throw them in his blasting cabinet and clean them up. Also replaced the stock 70 SS steering wheel with a comfort grip wheel. Picked up the hub and horn button last fall at Frankenmuth Autofest then winter happened.
