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

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

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

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

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

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Nice!
I think the 60, 61 and 62 were the best looking Impalas ever made IMHO |

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. |
