Well, it wasn't in the garage/shop or driveway but I walked this stunning young woman down the aisle this afternoon and released her to a fine young man I can now call my son.
Congrats Carl, its a great day and a beautiful bride. It would be a good day to have an old 4 door Pontiac with AC, I think it was hot your way?
I have 2 daughters, one son in law and one sin in law. The sin in law is a wonderful guy, they've been together for 15 years and have 2 grandchildren, but I still enjoyed the wedding with my other daughter. Getting married, the event, isn't as "important" as it used to be, but I still think its important and its great your daughter did too.
Don

looks like mother nature was at her best too, hope your new son in law has extra space in his garage
They don't, yet.................. Because she kept her end of the deal I made with her, she got her "living clean" money for an old car from me when she turned 21. She hasn't bought one yet though because they only have a single garage.
Those of you who have walked your daughter down the aisle and turned her over to a man you are proud to call son will know what a feeling it is, and what a great day we had.

Exactly, know the feeling.
Congratulations to the newly weds and to the proud parents.
It never ends! Finished up the bodywork on my truck and pulled my wifes in to chase an oil leak. Noticed some bubbles in the rocker panel paint.....need I say more.
Mine finally fixed after a year!
Wifes truck....more work! Nice thing is the box sides are plastic......no rust.
I dyed the interior of a VW bug about 23 years ago from beige to black and it is still as good as when I did it. I bought the dye from a vendor at the Sussex Flea Market in Sussex, NB. It was in spray cans and I have forgotten the name of it. I know the last three letters in the name were ----sol. Anybody familiar with it? I know it is a good product and wonder if it is still around. I have also used the Canadian Tire dye and it worked good for me.
Not garage or driveway, but in prep for....Crossed the border to my PO box yesterday, and picked up the set of Viking Hybrid coilovers I'd ordered. A225-TK550's.
Should solve all the ride height and ride quality issues I've faced over the years. It's been very difficult to find springs these days that are 100% suitable.
Even the custom spring houses like Detroit Eaton have trouble getting it right for the B Body. They are always too stiff.
These will be nice in that I can set the ride height, and the shock itself has multiple damping and rebound setpoints, easily accessed by clicking the two knobs.
They are a really nice looking and finished part. They include a Torrington bearing between the spring and collar and have a bearing in the lower mount.
I chose the 550 rate spring which is a small block spring, as I feel my BB is within 60 lbs of an iron SB. The 650 BB spring would likely be too stiff.
Can now easily change the spring if needed without breaking open the front end if needed.
Look forward to the install. Should be the last time I have to break the front end apart!
Gona wait Mark to see what you think of them when installed before I leap in. Not happy the 66 Impala is still sitting to high in the front after a year
I think the hybrid is a clever solution Kevin, but you need to be careful using them on stock lower arms.
All of the cars front end weight ends up bearing on the lower shock mount. A old tired arm could break through unless reinforced. An aftermarket lower works best here, but a good stock arm would be pretty easy to shore up.
But I concur, it's very difficult to get thing right with this front end design...it's not the best from GM.
