Removed the shock, so she's driveable. Have a host of new parts coming in.

Going to relocate the shock further back so need shorter shocks, ordered another set of QA1's. Have all new bags coming in as well for all 4 corners, and some other misc shit


Got to take the princess to the father daughter dance friday night........should have seen the other dads as we rolled in, lol

I know a guy who moved his family to a new house just to get a large detached garage. If you are looking for a life coach.

That thing is clean.

Love it!!

My dad had a '66 Impala right after his Beetle (first car). I'm very fond of that era Impala just because of the stories my dad would share of all the adventures he had.

Spent a few minutes this morning drilling holes into the car. A previous owner had done a shady seatbelt install. These cars had seatbelts as a dealer installed option, but the cars had dimples where seatbelts needed to be installed but it needed to be drilled out. I ducked up and ordered the wrong color seatbelts, but oh well.

Now I'm comfortable with the kids in it

Yep. I'm torn. I really want a set of cross laced wire wheels, but these look sooooo good.
