I'll get some pics up currently waiting for my wife to burn hole through my visa as we are about to leave to go to IKEA as soon as I get home I'm getting back on my car asap... (shaking in corner)
Moved all my spare windshield glass onto the new rack. I will move some cars & engines around on Monday to make better use of the space before winter sets in.
Will soon be off to the in-laws for Thanksgiving dinner (we do it on Sunday).
I attempted to make some space in my garage for two cars until I had a visit from Mark and his SWEET 67 GP. He also brought me a shop manual he picked up at Hershey for the Dodge and gave me a hand moving my sandblast cabinet. This car has "roadtrip" written all over it!
That's CP member Elludy (Earl) and Mark on the right.
I love the notes the 2nd owner put in the engine bay to keep track of maintenance:
Fantastic floors:
It was a real privilege to go for a ride in this car. It runs, drives and feels like a new car. Not even a wind noise which is common 4 door hardtops. Great score Mark!
I was lucky enough to spot Mark's car sitting behind Todd's on my way back from Turkey Point. I want to thank Mark for taking me along for a ride. As Todd remarked very quiet for a 4 dr. hardtop
It was a real pleasure finally taking some fellow CP'ers for a spin in the GP. Nice meeting you Earl. A great drive back, a good long run like that really seems to do a old car good. Running totaly silent and smooth when I got back.
Oh, and my driveway job today was to clean the car up for the trip, and install some leftover poly front stabilizer links. Every little bit counts!

Today I took the 79 T/A back to the storage garage to put away for the winter. Drove it twice this year. Fired up the Porsche, pumped up a flat tire and now it's sitting with battery charger on it. Waiting to go back into storage this week. Drove it twice this year also. Then I fired up the red GTA to move it for storage, never drove it this year. Kind of a waste, eh?
Got the sleds running today. The white stuff will be here soon. For any of you guys that have never ridden a sled you don't know what your missing. If you think a 100 MPH is fast in a car or a bike driving down the highway try it in a ditch full of snow can't wait

I took a greasy old 454 and transformed it into a whole bunch of greasy parts spread all over. After that I was having turkey withdrawal so came into the house to visit the mamma

You better load that puppy up and take it to Vancouver, seems like you're spending quite a bit of time there. Winters coming early I think and you'll need something to keep you occupied!
