A big thank you to ian for grabbing the hood bolts for me.As of tonite the hood is back on as well as the springs.Car came back on friday from the muffler shop and got to do a short drive around the industrial park and the car shifted through the gears and stopped fairly well.I must admit it will take a bit to get used to driveing her.Definitely got to preplan your stops and turns.Also got my insurance set up today so as soon as the registry is back up and running i can get my plates.They blew up one of the transformers in the SHAW building in downtown calgary,which set the sprinklers off and thus wiped out all the computer systems for alberta registries,alberta healthcare,several radio stations,shaws landline based 911 system,generally a big mess.It is slowly coming back online but still no registry services as of today.Other than that spent the night adjusting a few things and cleaning up the exterior.With some luck it should be ready for the car show this weekend.

No problem, glad I could help. I guess its just what fellow poncho fans do for each other.
