    Sure, I'll bring the jb weld. We'll get that tunnel done in record time.

    Cleaned and polished the transmission cooler lines, fuel filler neck, and some other small parts. Very shiny!

    Drove it, like usual. Currently back to being my only running vehicle, have put 1500 miles on it in the past couple of weeks. Put new U-joints, ball joints and front shocks on the car last weekend. That marks the second set of U-joints, 4th set of ball joints, and 3rd set of front shocks I've replaced on the car over the past 8 years.
