Replaced the upper steering column bearing, which I had 'repaired' in the past with one of the 928 repair sleeves but had finally given up the ghost.
Not too bad a job but I was lucky as the old bearing came out with the repair sleeve. One of those jobs I'd been putting off for ages and finally got round to.

Next in line was a hood over the exhaust tip cut outs.
Nice was it gave back the rigidity it had before the holes.

Hood over exhaust cutouts fabed and welded in. The valance ended up just as stiff as it was before I cut two big holes in it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Plus it looks better. Bullet dodged. On to the other side of the valance to fit the flare (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Welded in a new battery tray and brackets for the deck lid. Good thing the brackets are out of sight. They are not going to come off but they are not very pretty. I have mad respect for those of you who can weld. Especially on an old car and considering the contortions needed to get to the back side of things ...

Did a long tour and breakfast with my wife, then got some rain on us. It was warm anyway.

Got her out of winter storage and took her for the first drive in months.

The hydraulic lifters were empty and made horrible noises for the first mile or so but once they filled with oil everything went back to normal.

Purred like a kitten ...

Pulled the teener out of winter storage.

On the way home from WCR in Oregon I had to go through a construction zone where they were oiling the road and putting cinders down. No matter how slowly & carefully I drove, it got covered with oily cinders. Although I did some initial cleanup while on my trip, there was still lots left to do. Sooo...

1. Wash at local car wash to get rid of winter crud
2. Use bug and tar remover to do the entire car
3. Wax my baby.

She looks really good!

Organized my stuff for the Route 66 Classic. I'm ready to leave tomorrow!

Moved things out of the garage to install my Rennline wheel stud kit so I can use the Minilites I purchased from @stltri .

That is too cool. Awesome. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
Any chance you did a video of the process? I'd love to see that.

Thanks. I will look at youtube and see if I can figure out how to do a video. I can do another test run. I had a cell phone in the late 80’s and just got a cell phone a few years ago. My nephew told me “Come out of the cave uncle Paul”
I have a phone smarter than I. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
