I'm the guy Andy mentioned, never mind him, us old guys need to stick together, I can show you how to turn a two hour job into eight weeks, but that includes three reworks.

Aren't these Sunday afternoons heaven, knowing we don't have to set that alarm clock. I don't stay up very late on Sundays on here, because I don't want guys like Andy staying up late and missing work, need to keep those working on the job, on time, hopefully they get overtime, more money for our social security, Love it.:)

Anyway, glad you're enjoying your chevelle, and welcome Al.

Hi AL: I'm the other retired guy on here. I agree with Rob. Sure does feel good not to set the clock. Welcome to a great site. plenty of info here also. I'm also with Rob on how to turn a hour job into an all day thing. Been there done that. I see no reason to change now. All I have is time. Rob has all the $$$ Rick. Al post a few pictures of your car. Love to see whats out there. Rick
