Yep. Just dumped $3+K into mine installing a front coil-over system, new MOOG tie rod ends, idler and pitman arms. Bilstein's all the way around, new rear leafs and a rebuilt PS pump and 80's Trans Am/Firebird quick ratio (12.7:1) steering box conversion. I plumbed the PS pump to steering box yesterday. I just need to do an alignment, which I will do, and I am good to go. For now...

Short of my backpack the truck is packed. I pick up Brian (Kingston) tomorrow afternoon, we'll grill some burgers, sip a libation, chew the fat and head out in the AM. Hopefully he is up for a Tex-Mex lunch on the way and we should land at the ranch near 1:00. My wife and I are both looking forward to the trip...

The 2 best days of owning a boat. The day you buy it and the day you sell it. Here's my boat........I mean my money pit. 69 Chevy? 396 '68. The numbers say the block was out of '67 Impala SS. It was originally a 396, not not sure what it is now. It's nothing high performance, so who ever did it, maybe just kept it that way. No smoke and runs like it's stock.

A few years ago I had those guys put new MOOG ball joints in mine and they weren't compatible with the old control arms and one of them broke. Luckily I was only going about 30 and got it stopped before too much damage. So we had to replace the control arms with tubular ones. Something about the geometry. After we get back, I'm getting him to replace the PS pump also. It's the only thing that's still original and it's shot.

Every time she comes near me, money starts flying out of my wallet. But then again, when either one of is near me, money flies out of my wallet.

Colorado Bob and just linked up in Fort Stockton. My emergency credit card arrived today as well. Looks like we will make it.
I was touch-and-go from the start of this journey. Visa called me the day before I left to tell me that my card had been compromised. They would send a replacement- in four to five days. I told them I needed it tomorrow and they said they would send an emergency card- to my destination.
Gentlemen, I have baptized in the fire of Filipina Call Centers. Have you ever tried to explain to a lovely sounding young lady in a foreign land what a Texas hunting lodge is?
Eleven calls and four States later I got a reservation for the cheapest motel I could find and begged them to send it here. They agreed and called the Indian hotel keeper and arranged everything. The card works and the stress levels are receding as I type this. I am a wreck. Poor Colorado had to listen to the long version through dinner.
See you after thirteen hundred
