It snowed just when I thought spring was around the corner it snows.Back to the Q:notta.The only thing I have to do is change the oil,raise my vent on my housing,and clean the underside where it spued gear oil every where.

Fabricated and welded in a new sub frame mount because the one under the battery tray had corroded away. New core support and inner fender will come another day.

Saturday I finished the rear seat,but I think I overstuffed it. I wanted to make it firmer and puffier but I think I went too far.Sunday went to a benefit for my niece that has cancer.Turned out real good.We had a lot of people donate a lot of things for a Chinese Auction.Some of the items were 4 Cleveland Cavs tickets,3 day getaway to Atlantic City,autographed baseballs form Cleve.Indians pitchers,Ohio State football,Youngtown State,San Fran 49ers,and too much to mention.I have to thank all that came out and helped ,donated,and those that worked so hard to make it a success.

Getting ready to change over from auto to manual transmission, still can't lift due to surgery but took out the 4 speed console that came with car and cleaned up with oven cleaner then painted with SEM landau black plastic paint, I believe it came out pretty good.

Hey Keith,
I didn't see anything wrong with the console BEFORE you painted it. Must be the pictures.
I have to do mine as well and hope it comes out as well as yours did.
