    let me see...first took my "new" rims and had my "new" tars mounted and balanced...
    second...went to where my floor pans were being installed...he had the pans in...quarter panal patched...tail panal patched...had patched the apron under the batt.tray...installed a "new" batt. tray....while there chris put on my "new" pertronix coil...i put the tars and rims on the car...
    when we left there we went to my front end man and got the front end alinged...while there we put a "new" rubber gas line on the fuel sender...
    got home...installed my "new" steering wheel...then cut the hole and installed my mav. auto. floor shifter
    from my floor pan man to my front end man the mav. cut off about six times...
    chris got hung up in what the news called a "parking lot" traffic jam. he was in the middle of it when the mav. went south...some homeless man helped him get it out of the road...
    all in all it was a great day..:huh:
    i took some pics. but they didn't come out to good...i will try again later....frank...:bouncy:

    jerry,
    it pitched a fit today.. i hate to think it was the new fuel hose i had put on not too long ago. it was hard and was leaking...it was close to the tail pipe and got dried out...it didn't miss a beat all the way home...all that will change tuesday...i am taking it to get "new" flowmasters and am going to dump them in front of the rear wheels..frank...:bouncy:
