What did you get done? 11/04

My wife hosted a wedding shower this weekend. The bride to be and her family are scattered all over the country so they converged on my house. The ladies started arriving Friday night, with the remainder coming in on Saturday. Some of them didn't leave till today.

Needless to say, I was looking for a place to be. Any place that did not include my house. I ran calls all day Saturday, then went to the local cruise spot that evening. The weather was awesome so the turnout was huge. Look for pics here- Link

Today I finally made it to the garage to tear down my 77. Since it blew a water pump gasket two weeks ago, I haven't been able to touch it. Today I got it torn apart, and started the clean up. It took me 20 minutes to pull the water pump, and 3 hours to clean up the front of the motor. It's amazing how sticky antifreeze can be.

I started on repairing the edge of the pump where the paint had lifted. Got it feathered back, and a couple coats of primer. I have a coat of color on now, but it's not blending as well as I had hoped. I still need to work on that before I can reassemble.
