5 to 9"  you say Doc? Up here in CT we are predicted to get 18" I spent the day shuffling cars and cleaning up the yard. Cleaning and organizing my work bay in my 4 bay garage.

 Made some room in the middle bay for my 73 gremlin so I can bring my 69 amx home and put it where the 73 gremmie is,,,,,,,,in my two bay garage. Got 2 new aluminum doors to put on at some point. Gotta do alotta wiring. Seems like it never ends, and thats not counting getting anything done on my 4 amc projects! I am concentrating on my 72 Gremlin X first. So far I have replaced the front rotors, bearings, seals, calipers, and pads. All swapped from the original front drums. Replaced the rear leafs with HD 5 leaf springs, added a sandblasted and painted ford 9" rear out of a 70 mustang, all new rear brakes, cleaned the engine compartment. Been sandblasting odds and ends. Blasted a torker and had the exhaust crossovers welded shut. Bought a rebuilt TF 727, B&M shift kit, NOS Hurst auto stick ( Had it since I was 18 for a future gremmie Project), 4000 stall converter. Still got along ways to go.

  The sickness continues.

We put up shelves and use it to store my Hornet parts and his Javelin parts. I have the wood to put up more shelves too. I have parts behind my dresser, book cases, wall units. Seems like there is never enough room for everything. I have a 2 car garage with one Hornet and my son's 74 Javelin and rent a storage space a few blocks away from where I live too. I guess tomorrow would be a good day to make the new shelves.  Send us some warmth up north Bart.
