Yes... it paid to watch the weather forecasts because the original idea was leave Thursday drive back on Friday but as I was looking last week it looked like the Wednesday-Thursday gig was the way to go. Yoda looks cold!  |

Man I'm glad Bill and I got my car when we did... It's been raining for the past 4 days which means snow in the Sierras. Probably wouldn't have been able to get the car until the spring thaw! |

Thanks Shubee but I'm not buying anything else until I determine that what I have isn't usable.,, unless I run across that NOS panel of course!

Time for a small update... Been picking up parts here and there since I got the car back... mostly motor parts etc. Made a decision on a body shop. The next step was prepping the car for the body shop. I wanted to pull out the gauges, steering wheel, running boards and a some other stuff before the car went to the bodyshop. I had tried to spend some time in the garage a few nights last week but every time I tried, something happened to keep it from happening. And then...Steve Wilkerson (Steve DKK) flies down to So Cal for the weekend and a few Deeks decided to celebrate the occasion with dinner on Sunday night. Next thing I know, Lisa talks everyone into going over to my house to disassemble my car. With Steve, Dan, Worm, Bubba, Henry & Nanci, Lisa & her girls, Sue and I all working we knocked it out in no time! Many Deeks make a light load! Thank you all for coming over and helping  I have a line on "The Holy Grail" a.k.a. NOS Left Front '67 1/4 panel that I'm pursuing but if I don't have it sewn up by Wednesday, I'm just going with what I have. The car should be in the body shop by next week at the latest. |

Steering wheel isn't out yet. The aluminum hub is stuck to the steel steering shaft.
