    So what your saying is, you used all of the adult vocabulary words. Or as Kirk would say to Spock, the use of "colorful metaphors"

    Slowly adding parts back to her. Got the PS pump in and then discovered the big bolt that holds the bracket down and the water in won't work in the new pump:grumpy:. So the original pump will get sent out to be rebuilt. The manifolds are on and starter in. Next up are the brakes and hood. Then probably the moving truck to transported to her new home:bananaman::bananaman::bananaman:.

    Hood is on and latches-not well but it shuts and latches. The brakes are done but leak through some of the flares so new tubing and flares are in order. Cleaning her up and getting ready for transport on the 16th of next month.

    Not to rain on your parade, but it isn't over till the fat exhaust sings.

    Well got Betty to her new home and tucked away in her room. We have been busy unpacking and settling in so I am just beginning to work on her again-albeit slowly. The next project up is replacing all of the body mount rubber pads and bolts-joy.

    Then I am off to Victoria BC to pick up a new dash and begin rewiring her. This winter I will be doing welding since it will be cold and I have to layer up anyways for safety. I am hoping to have running next summer.

    Oh, and all of the glass is coming out and either being replaced and/or new gaskets being added. There are more projects with her but that is gist for now.

    If they're puckered upward, don't worry. Once the glass is installed and it gets out in the sunlight, it should relax and lay flat.
