Its summer and your ride is on jack stand

Not as bad off as you, but I tore the interior out of the Cuda for new paint, and the paint was suddenly "unavailable"..........it's been sitting there apart for a week.......Then I ordered a period correct NOS Craig 8 track radio for it, still factory sealed, and wouldn't you know it.....it was defective from the factory.......entire right channel out......needless to say, we won't be sending it in for warranty service..........wires all over the place, dash apart.........

......what a mess........

But I'm thankful that the old 273 is still running good.......I hope your motor problems get fixed fast so you can cruise her for the summer. Good Luck! 8)
