I swapped those studs around on my intake manifold, thanks again Ray. Then I torqued the intake down. (30ft/lbs) I layed under the car and ate some more dirt, rust, grease, etc. It's starting to mist, so I came inside for lunch. I am pretty sure I am done working on it for a few days due to the weather. We have a HUGE tropical storm heading this way, and it seems like it will develop into a hurricane by the time it reaches us. (Tomorrow)

I am off Tuesday, so maybe I'll be blessed with some decent, read - rain-free, weather.

We drove the vert up to Jasper today to attend a benefit auction for our little buddy Cody and to take him for a ride in HIS car (Joan's vert) .

Fired up the Chevelle today and took it out for a couple mile drive. Haven't been home the last 3 weeks so not much has been done to it. Still only have 6 miles on it since I finished it. Felt good just to get it out and get on it. Still needs some license plates so I can't drive it very far. Still have not done a burn out with it yet.

The front frame is completely cleaned and in primer. That heat is brutal, and I hurt all over from laying on the concrete. I will be paying dearly for this tomorrow. I don't have a day to recover anytime soon either, I work the next five days straight.

My brakes went out on my 74 chevy truck so I limped it back home at lunch break and drove the old reliable El Camino .

I finished welding up my firewall and got some primer and paint down on it. Tomorrow the intake, carb, and valve covers go on the engine and the engine and trans gets bolted in.
