I consider anything I get done a success. Considering my crew, 2yr old and 3 1/2 yr old. They are great though.

I hope to finish my power locks/keyless entry/alarm today. That along with putting in a few new pieces along the way.
Then I need to get my plates drawn up in AutoCAD to get cut out for my firewall covering the factory A/C holes. May do a little to get the new A/C more in the direction of installed. Other projects I have outstanding... Change tranny pan and gasket, change oil pan gasket, all the A/C stuff, another new windshield/gasket/trim install, and some other little bits I am sure I am forgetting. This is after I have already "finished" my truck.

I just finished installing new window weather-stripping in my 70 Chevy Custom Camper 20, and will be doing the door seals this weekend. Winter will be here before you know it.

My weekend goals are to replace the R. side inner & outer rocker panels, & cab support. I'm 92.3% done.
The rest of the weekend consists of going to the Super Chevy Show.

Did fresh plugs, wires, set timing, oil change, lube, and total visual inspection Friday.
Saturday, take her out on a long drive (200 to 300 miles total). Sunday, wash her up and give her a good coat of wax.

I'm gonna go outside and wash it up in a few minutes, then I plan on putting as many miles on it as possible this weekend. Have put on about 130 miles over the past couple evenings. Gotta take advantage of the nice weather while we have it, the truck goes away on October 15 and won't be coming back out till May
