Some updates!

First off, Polished/ cleaned up my valve covers a little bit.


Before:





After:






While I was doing that, found one of my oil leaks. Going to grab a new one after Christmas, but put some sealant on it until now.





Started painting the bumper trim, and prepping the bumper itself. I think the trim came out very nice, considering it was 35 degrees.












Paints I'm using. First is the trim, second is the bumper itself. Got the bumper primed and painted, but waiting till tomorrow for it to cure/ set.






After everyone left Cars and Coffee this past saturday, a VERY strong gust of wind launched my hood about 15 feet in the air and across the parking lot. Fortunately, this was the only damage.





More cleaning of the interior.





I had primed and painted the rest of valance, but when the time to paint the color match can failed on me, so I'll be redoing that soon as the only other can of red I found was a much brighter shade.





Then I put some new lights on, some pics for comparison. Also threw a black grill on to try it out. Nothing else is still chrome on my car, though I'm still not sure how I feel about it...










Oh yeah, and this happened temporarily.






Some random pictures because I take way too many...







New windshield my friend picked up as his is very cracked ^



Well I won't be updating until at least New Years, so Merry Christmas and Happy holidays to everyone! Stay safe. I'll leave some Christmas gift idea's here for anyone that would like to deliver Cara to me.

I know that feel. That's why I went carb'd, I have 5 wires on the engine But dont give up! I was sooosososososososo close to driving my car last night, then the alternator turned out to be bad Oh well, my fault for not testing it. Getting a new one as we speak.






So now I distract you until I can make any progress.

I think the car looks raw as hell (in a good way). My response to the interior being the way it is:

Thanks man.
