It's been raining for the better part of two weeks here, but that's stopped now. It's snowing instead, 12" worth on Thursday and Friday!!!

I installed most of the trim and emblems, mounted a battery tray, cut tempates for the side windows and worked on the seat and its mounting tracks. I've finished taking the front end out of it and will start the suspension rebuild probably tomorrow (2/13).

I need to order a converter so I can hook the motor and tranny together and install it in the car.

There are some pictures of the roller on www.forabodiesonly.com in the photo gallery under the same signature. I'll add more when (and if) the show melts.

For those die hards that have been following this epic struggle, I got the seat and belts mounted, rear battery tray and fuel cell installed. The rear suspension is completed, other than the rear brakes. The upper control arms are done and on the car, the lowers are next. My son mounted the bumper and been my most excellent second set of hands. Somewhere in all this I'll hook the motor and tranny together, and place it in the car. I'll find out then if I can pull off the header thing. I'll post some photos on the for A-body only site. I shooting for a Memorial Day fire up.

An electronic high five to Frank, whose front end part got me back on the snide today. Car show tonite (3-27), grandson's baseball game tomorrow (28th). Hope to finish getting the front end back in it before Monday (back to work) RICK :D
