Hi Griz, doing well...

This is my Torino on the lift, about to pull the 9" out...


and a restored axle housing...


and a restored center chunk, 3.50 traction-loc...


While all that's out, I'm cleaning, priming and painting the undercarriage with chassis black, installing new leaf springs from Eaton Springs and frame connectors, and then doing a rebuild on the the motor and tranny. I'll drive it next summer, then park it again for final bodywork, paint, and interior.

I keep telling myself, "It's a journey, and a destination".

Talk to you later.

My experience and several others' experiences with back problems is that no matter what you do it takes six weeks to heal. I recommend as much alcohol as you can stand.

Yo Griz,

Was wondering where you went. Welcome back and try to stick with us for awhile.

I have a slightly ruptured disc which will raise hell if I lean over my worktable for a couple of hours. Other back problems affecting left leg etc. and is why I think the TIP I drive is a godsend. I may lose a little performance but it is better to be able to drive the Boxster than not at all. Going to add the 2nd cat delete pipe in a couple of weeks for a little more sound and whatever performance my come with it. Party on and Happy Thanksgiving.

AKL
