When was the last time you walked into a store and came out and couldn't find your vehicle? Yesterday. I go in one door and come out the other and don't have a clue where I parked. I should take a pic. of the row numbers.

Been there and done that. I had a Camry and came out of the store and couldn't get my key to work. Yup. Wrong Camry same color everything. Lol
Memory sucks too. I tell everyone I have a good memory but it's short!

76° yesterday and no wind to speak of BIG That's not Spring Time on this part of the coast More of same today.

Nice Coronet for sale. Price is reasonable for the quality of work. I would have to change the wheels though. FOR SALE - 1965 coronet

 

[toolmanmike]

OUCH!!

I don't have a core. The PO took it off to repaint the dash and it didn't get thrown in on the deal. A swap meet core probably costs $100 or so and a few hundred more to have it redone. I will probably just bite the bullet for a new one.

I think this gasket pattern will work.

Price for parts sure went up in price in the last 4 or 5 years. I'm wondering if I can even afford to restore another car.

That get's the ol' blood pumping. I fired up my Dart yesterday and backed it out of the garage so I could get to the storage shelves. All good.

 

[Scott_ 69HemiDart]

Back out on the road!!

I figured I better make a pattern first before I carve up a good piece of gasket material. If it had a gasket on it originally, i sure couldn't find one anywhere on the net.
