I've been putting off this update because I was unsure how to word it without "Facebookin' up the place", which I despise. Though I'm guilty of it already, my personal drama is not to be aired on a car forum so I'll just give ya the bullet: the most important relationship in my life imploded and that devastated me. Combined with the weather it meant I had no interest in improving my car or even my situation, but after longer than promised I received a small lump sum of $$ so I got a dog and a bunch of tools. I've now moved out of the basement and have purchased enough furniture for an entire home so I can dump all of this broken trash. This house has been been turned upside down like it should have been years ago and we're about to shake out and clear up room in the garage so I can be productive and utilize the skills I claim to possess but haven't shown. Anyone else have 6 "damaged but salvageable" dining room tables and complete tax records for the last 25 years occupying valuable storage space? Yeah, we're probably alone on that one. If ya need mismatched chair sets we've got those too.
I feel as though I've broken promises to the forum and failed to deliver on more than one occasion, hurting my credibility when I had very little to begin with. I'll now refrain from putting a time schedule on planned modifications since I never seem to fulfill that goal, and I'll also work on completing a task before starting another. Sometimes I just can't help myself though.
The radiator situation has been figured and seam sealer was applied to the rear window/ trunk channels but that's it until I organize the garage. That's an area that I've made worse by accumulating more stuff but not being set up to use it. I actively made the problem worse and now I get to fix it, which really should entail gutting the garage but will at least include hanging the shelving I've owned for years and tossing some stuff into the neighbor's yard.
On a related note, if you're working on a project G Body with your offspring shoot me a DM, I might have something for you. I need to clear more space and I'll donate certain parts I have if they'll get you talking to your kids. Being present doesn't mean you're actually there, and working on cars can include life lessons on how to be a true, honest man who understands why things are done.
