            • Got my route map and spent a couple hours driving most of the route for the first time. Drove about 80 miles. She did good, Just hope it can do it every day, lol.

              Teh engine's getting tired.

              The route has a lot of gravel, I was literally covered in dust by the time I was done. :/
              I'll have to seal up the rust holes, lol

              • One of my JY tires grew a wart(bubble, seperated thread) , lasted several months. Got a new 175/70-13 & replaced it.

                • Love my new engine stand. Yesterday I completely stripped Chucks old B3 to the block in less than half an hour. This afternoon I'll be cleaning everything up and honing for the new rings. Rod bearings and pistons look good so I'll be leaving them alone, there was no knocking before just a lot of blowby and low compression. Still gotta decide which car to throw it in, but Babystiva is still looking like the most likely candidate.

                  • Grill mod progress

                    Finally had an alignment of the stars, good weather, and initiative, so I got my SemperFisteva grill mod going again yesterday.

                    Pix show 2nd prototype, "proof of concept" grill installed and mock up of headlight surrounds.

                    Not sure if it is exactly what I'm looking for but right now it looks OK.

                    The grill is fabricated of wood with several coats of Polyurethane under to OD paint. It may work as the real thing. Wood isn't too impact resistant. If I get a burst of energy this spring, I may do the final grill in Fiberglass. The headlight surrounds are Styrofoam just resting in place. They are rough. I used green 'floral' foam. It's crappy to work with. Best leave it in the arts & crafts store. I got some 4lb foam which is stronger and works easier. Cuts great with a hot-wire cutter. I'll keep working at it.

                          I haven't washed or waxed in months. I forgot how red and shiny my car can be.
