    Nothing at all, did enough Saturday, did some research into windshield installation and what should be used to seal it, now just resting up until Tuesday, hopefully the headliner and door panels will be ready this time.

    $100,000 is not enough liability in my opinion. If one is ever in a major accident....$100,000 is just a drop in the bucket.

    Are you sure you only have $100k, that seems really low as most insurance companies start at $500k or $1mil. Personally I have a minimum of 3mil on each of our cars, mainly because people are really greedy nowdays and law suites (if it's your fault) are really climbing out of site.
    On the Maverick (which is a drag only car), I have it insured for $35k which includes my trailer and the car is covered in my garage, during transport and at the track (with the exception of the 1/4 mile)..........also the policy has $1k deductable for $487.00 per year, which is $41.00 per month and this is through Heacock.

    Snatched the door off to repair it and paint jambs and inside of door (now has POR 15 coating inside), I did find out it had taken a small hit at one time on the drivers door, just a little crease in the lower part toward the back of it, thus the paperwork I found when I first got it stating something was done to the drivers side along with a new stripe kit for that door, looks like warranty repair paper or something to do with dealer.

    Watched as the machine shop checked the deck height.
    I will also soon have two (1ea 71 and 1ea 72) 4bolt main blocks to play around with.

    Bought a pack of 000 steel wool and have been working on my 67 Caprice tail light frames removing the argent paint accents - these things are cleaning up to a blinding chrome finish - no black paint will be needed on these suckers - gotta buy more parts from New Mexico I guess :dance:
