Years ago when my heater core blew out, I was removing it and my original vent hose basically fell apart in the process. My car sat a few years and the dash vent outlets crumbled. Damn glad to see Detroit Muscle still makes parts for us. I ordered my replacements this past week, and it even...

My right wiper pivot was completely froze up from corrosion and shot to hell. I located another, cleaned it I added a grease fitting a lubed it up. Now it’s right as rain.

Painted my new brake calipers. Also got in my new rotors. Slowly coming along

Tie rods, tie rod adjusters, idler arm, pitman arm, center link, steering gear, all installed now.

Finally got a chance to get back to work on her. This is today’s progress.

Hopefully I can have her looking like this next year
