    Made the 35 mile trip south on the PA Turnpike to visit Jean Doll - since Dale passed away, Jean is not planning on doing any more body work or paint in the garage so she told me to come down and get the gallon of 1969 Camaro Hugger Orange paint that Dale gave me a while back - Dale kept it at his garage as he was going to paint the Maverick for me - he had already used some of it on the inside of my trunk, 5 piece spoiler set and cowl top - hopefully, once the weather gets better, I will get back to the build after a 2 year hiatus and either learn how to paint it myself or get someone to shoot it for me:tiphat:

    Got tired of the one wheel peel and getting sideways when I get on it at 45 mph, bought this yesterday, 8" Differential with 4:11 gear and Trac-Loc was going to go with 9" but got a great deal on this newly rebuilt unit and had to have it, $350.00, gonna get it out of the crate and stick it in when the weather gets better....[​IMG]

    Yep and it rains then gets cold, was in the 30's a day or so ago.

    Yep LA is correct, weather can be a little nasty at times, I usually don't go out unless the temp is above my age lol...

    I have everything to put it back together
    I dont plan to do anything other than make it a clean functional driver
