Good Morning Everybody!
Jeff. The boss gave the wrong employee the day off, so I have to tend to the car lot today.
I had to order the donut for the Dodge, so I guess I'll do that tomorrow. It sure will be nice to have a quiet truck that doesn't rattle incessantly when you start it.
Now that the maintenance is done, I can get back on the projects. I have to pull the engine and trans back out of the '57 and switch the vehicles around in the shop. Hopefully I can move Bandit under it's own power soon.

.....and this week's feature story:
How to completely restore a truck in one month, with RC Plumley.
I wish I had your gusto, RC. Yeah, I said it. You're putting me to shame over there.

I haven't looked at the new one again. I'll try to get that done today. They only have one in stock. Kind of a "use this or nothing" universal deal. I just want to see if it has the correct ends on it. Otherwise, I'll hit the junkyard and grab one.

Afternoon All!
Slow day at the car lot. I washed two cars and put an O2 sensor in so far.
The grocery store in town bought a smoker and started selling BBQ in the deli. YUM! Two pulled pork sandwiches for $5.00. I just polished off two of them and now my tummy is happy!

Evening All!
Just got back from our monthly grocery shopping excursion. We should be set for a while now. I want to go up and check out the gun show tomorrow morning before I get involved with anything at the shop.
