Well, Mark and I worked on the frame on Saturday. Quite a lot done. Like a HUGE jigsaw puzzle . . . Let's try that peice . . . Nope . . . How about that one . . .

Actually not too bad, other than being slowed down on a few minor detailing issues (paint this - polish that), nearly the entire rear end is done.

Just made a list of 'little' things to do to the car, a lot more then I expected! Looks like all these little things combined turned into a project.

Got the Berger(s) all cleaned up for the trip to GA. The Camaro is all shiney, witha fresh belly of Mobil One, and the truck, well only the front end got waxed up (too much rain) to hopefully make bug removal easier!
