Bailed the wifey's Yukon out of the shop. It's been a month there. Went in for rear main seal and r & r the dash to fix the broken mode door. Blowing straight hot on the driver side. I am in no shape
to do those level of repairs anymore so I had to let a shop do it for me.
Clipped us for $4g all together. Mercy! Mama's happy.

OUCH !!! I think I would've put duct tape over the left vents and let-r-drip for that cost...:eek:

Right? I considered just laying caulk on my antenna when the cover got knocked in the robo-wash (I have a thread about it). Would've looked crappy, but also would've been about $600 less money.

Wife and I made a quick trip to Anderson, MO (3.5 hours one way) to pick up the wife's new toy. Came with a 60" belly mower we really do not need right now but you never know, right?
It was too good a deal to pass up. Has a few hydraulic leaks that need addressing, thus the mat under the hydraulic connections, which are first on the list. Overall a solid unit just needs a little TLC.

Last pieces of the taco front end rebuild came today. The packing newspaper is Japanese.

Went to a somewhat local car show today. Wandered around a bit. They had about 100 cars. We didn't bring a hot rod. We drove our 20 Mustang GT vert. It was a perfect day for a convertible ride around the lakes.

Brought home a old friend on Friday. My grandparents had this 61 Impala when I was growing up while in middle and high school. It was a identical twin to a 61 that my grandpa ordered brand new in 61 and then dated my grandmother in it, sold it when they got married to have extra money to get on their feet. (Stuck a scanned old photo of the original car)

Well fast forward to today, we lost my grandmother a year ago and my grandpa was wanting to get the 61 back, was able to get in touch with the guy they sold it to a decade ago and he actually still had it and was ready to let the car go. So we sold some spare stuff, pooled our money together and got the car back. Needs a little TLC as the car has pretty much sat in the garage the last decade, but nothing crazy.

Nice!
I think the 60, 61 and 62 were the best looking Impalas ever made IMHO

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Great that this came back to the family. :metal:

Beautiful car.
I had a '62 SS, Aqua on Aqua driver for a while. Never had the funds or time to bring it a decent restored level and sold it 2 years ago to fund my '67 Camaro restoration. Yep, was sad to see it go and regret it, but I made good progress on the Camaro for awhile.
The pic of your Grandpa's original car with the 4 bars and wide whites was the hot ticket back then. He was livin' the times. Glad he has you and the car to spend time with now.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

well its finally on the road after 35 years in a barn. nothing really works except the engine and the brakes, but its still a great day.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

At least you don’t have to worry about the turn signals :lol:



I always liked that model

Did last of the welding on the boiler smokestack. Getting closer to standing that rascal up. ;)

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I'm jealous! I love the 61 impalas

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

:haha: but honestly they dont work either. i have one brake light and nothing else at all.

fun fact, the turn signal switch is on the right of the steering wheel. they had not standardized it on the left in 1972!
