Decent! You'll have to upload the video to youtube, then copy and paste it here.
It was a beautiful day here and the Wagon was absolutely filthy and no time to hose ti down. So I took it through the car wash for the first time ever and now I know where EVERY leak is on the thing. LOL! Mostly door seals which I can live with and WILL live with.
Then I drove it to the local indoor ISCA Piston Powered Auto Rama here in Cleveland..... but of course, it was parked outside.

Went to the junkyard today. Scored the elusive (and almost always scrapped or broken) 231 NA V6 alternator/ac compressor bracket (which I mocked up on my other 350 Buick), fender to core support braces, and some misc. bolts and ac brackets. All for $37.10! When I got home, I realized apparently not all g bodies have holes for the braces in the same place, so I had to get creative. When I got em on, I breathed a sigh of relief. Then I went to shut the hood and *clunk*. ^$*#! Then took a 3 lb hammer and gently massaged them to where the hood would close. I also went to my local sears (which is one of like... 4?ish that are left in the state) and got a free replacement 1/2 drive ratchet, and bought a 3/8 flex ratchet for them damn jounce bar frame holes. I found myself wishing I had one enough times to warrant spending $25 on a ratchet. I'll be back to the yard within a week or so to get the jounce bars, and any other bits I think I may need.

The fender braces on my 4 door are shorter, definitely. They go to speed clips at the back lip of the core support, not the front like you have...
Finally started on prepping the gauge housing for paint
I went to Kenny U Pull today and grabbed steering shafts, 2 from 95 Jeep Grand Cherokees and 2 from Safari vans. I will post some pictures when they are all cleaned up.
I was surprised to see an 81 Regal, and an 85 4 door Cutlass. Both were in really rough shape however.
