Ya I know Even some of the brake parts are the same.

Today I got the pass side all disassembled and started on the bead blasting. I did take some before pics and have some after pics from the DS. I will try to get some on soon.

Thanks DOC,

The bottom inside shock mount nut can be a pain but it is easy if you jack up the lower controll arm and use a 1/4 drive with a long extention.

So I see you are making progress on you front end Davis. I hate trying
to get the 2 lower shock mount bolts on, they are such a pain. I'll say
a prayer for the weather for you on monday but I just saw the report
down here and it said slight snow accumulation for monday morning
turning to rain by noon. Glad to hear your mother is doing better.

I paid him 20% so far. I talked to him and we rescheduled for monday morning. I hope the weather holds out for the trip.

I worked on the 72 for 2 hours today. I got the pass side done except to bolt the shock in. I got the shock and coil spring off the PS today and I painted my spare v-8 cross and mounts. I hope tomorrow I can finish disassembling the ps suspension. Saturday eve I have the CAMO christmass party!!

My Mom is doing better. She is finally outa the hospital! She is in a rehab now and making progress. Still gonna be a long road for her.

Thanks,

Davis

I would love to but 1) him meeting me was part of the negotiation and 2) I have a 10 week old son and my wife works 2-9 pm m-f and 7-1pm saturday. Sundays I go to Mass to visit my Mom in rehab. I have to be home to take care of my son so a 6 hr trip to get the car I can handle, but not a 12 hr trip.

I am a very organized person and try to make things run smoothly

twice. Sounds like you got all the parts for the new Gremlin almost all
ready to go yourself. Why don't you just go get the car your self if
the guy keeps putting off delivery?

Doc,

Sounds like your really gettin your ducks in a row. Nice to be able to get the stuff you need. I am still lookin for a 401 crank to build my motor with.

Also the guy canceled on me again today cause they were to get snow again. He said 4 to 6 inches, weather.com said 2 to 3. I am starting to get tired of this. I went to KY in a 2wd dakota to get my 72 thru 3 snow storms and this guy has trouble getting his duelly from the falls to Utica in a little snow. It would be nice to get the 70 here so I can start on her. i already have a new cam, lifters, springs, roller timming set, battery box, and torker intake to start the go fast upgrades. I will pick up teh heads tomorrow to start the porting.

Davis

I ordered the rocker panels for the yellow Hornets rust repair
yesterday. Whitney gave me a March 17th shipping date from the
manufacturer. I don't really need 2 of them but since I have 2 Hornet's
and they are only 29$ a piece I bought 2. I need to do this rust repair
before I can install the 2 NOS fenders. I am mailing out a sample of the
carpet I want made for the orange car to Kennedy American so I get the
right type carpet. I don't know the difference between loop or pile just
what I like. The guy that was supposed to contact me about the seats
upholstery hasn't contacted me yet so I may just get an estimate from
the upholstery shop I buy my materials from. I don't have time to futz
around as I have a schedule to keep as the time for assembly is coming
in 4-6 weeks and everything has to be ready to go together. When Kenned
American receives the carpet sample and it is ordered it should be
shipped in 10 days. I am having the carpet and rockers delivered
directly to my friends shop. I got 5 more hatch upholstery panels to
finish and I am ready to start the final disassembly of the car and
paint the last parts for assembly. Now I just need the weather to
co-operate. LOL
