Kendall,

My wife just "discovered" that she's able to drive the Chevelle with the 4 speed. Talk about a crazy driver...I was sweating bullets

Holly on the other hand, will have to wait awhile!

Nice score on the Nova...congrats!

Tonight the car came home on a trailer.No,its not going to be a trailer queen.Just the easiest way to get it home.Took it off of the trailer and had to go for a shakedown cruise on the road.The wife didnt have a seatbelt on her side but she went anyhow.The car drives nice.The motor pulls like gangbusters,shifts nice,steering is pretty tight.The car has been sitting for a while because the header collector was rusted to the point that it came apart on the test cruise.No damage done.The guy I bought it from I think was having second thoughts about selling it once we got there.He asked me if I was going to keep it or sell it.I told him,keep it.He stood in his driveway watching us as we drove down the road.Nothing against it but I think he was crying as he really didnt want to get rid of it.I told him we would take good care of it.He also wanted to see it after we get it redone.I said we would be happy to come by and show it to him.If anybody wants specific pictures of something let me know and I will do my best to get them posted.I told the wife I dont need anymore gifts for b-day or anything anymore as I have everything I want.For the most part anyhow.Time for bed,no Im not sleeping in the car tonight.
Kendall

Bruce,actually I was sleeping pretty close to it.It was parked only about 20ft from my bedroom window.The wife asked if I wanted a pillow and blanket to go sleep in it.The youngest daughter went with us to pick it up and on the way home she said she wanted a horse.I said what do you want a horse for when we already have 375 on the trailer.For some reason she didnt think that was very funny. Time to go get this off of it.
