Default Nice Day!

God is it nice out or what? So nice & warm & sunny. Sure glad I spent 8 hrs at work today, and all afternoon installing my gas tank & rear end!

Oh, did I mention I got the gas tank in & the rear end hung? Might even have it ready for a test drive tomorrow.....

If you've ever installed a 9" by yourself, you know how much of an accomplishment yesterday was for me!

Looks like it's going to be nice today too. Guess I better get going hooking up all the misc stuff. Hey Ellis, since your POS will be the reigning Jack Stand Queen for a while, can I borrow your driveshaft?

Well I have done the 12 bolt, and while it is a bite lighter, it still isn't any fun by yourself! Good luck on getting her rolling today!

Well, it runs....sort of. Took it out for a test drive. It was fine until I stepped on it a little. I think I either have a fouled plug or an injector that is clogged. So it's back in the garage until I get it sorted out. And it's SO nice out too.....

I went to the beach today, even drove on it. Was a nice day out at Ocean Shores. And the car got around 23mpg too which isn't too bad for a scenic drive.
