I'm going to Berkshire Ave Pittsburgh never been there before no idea where I'll grab a bite
What took you to Berkshire and where did you grab a bite to eat? Hopefully tried Beto's since you weren't far away from it

Yesterday got the GTO ready for the Pizza Power Tour coming up on Sunday since it is calling for some rain won't be taking the Monte out

I went there for square body crew parts. A guy had 6 matching rims with 2 new tires and 4 at about 85 or 90% plus all 4 Phoenix stainless steel wheel simulators for $200 but he was missing 1 center cap lock ring and gave me back $60. Lauren and I really wanted to get back so we just grabbed BS fast food on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Good quality time with Lauren tho and the truck looks much better

Got the 63 fired up today. I need to move it to drop some trees around it, and a little, nasty, ******** groundhog was taking up residence underneath of it as well as both neighbors' sheds. It only took a battery and some gas down the carb, and it eventually started and ran after sitting for at least 5 years; I know the gas was pure sh*t. Took it on a few laps to do some burnouts between my neighbors house and mine. The brakes kept locking up, so I called it a job well done. Can't believe it runs so good after sitting so long!

I fired up my Thunderbird for the first time in over a year. I've recently begun ordering parts to bring it back from a long sleep.

It's going to need all fluids replaced, new exhaust system, tires are over 20 years old, ditto for the battery, go through the brake system, hoses, serpentine belt, full tune up and all the usual stuff. I'm also going to replace the AC condenser and hoses underhood. But it won't need any body or paint or interior work. It's as mint as this picture that was taken over 20 years ago.

Jr. has laid claim to this car. He turns 16 next summer. That's why we're starting our parts collecting now.

Went to a salvage yard "harvest day" and picked up a bunch of parts to put on my Colorado.

Gave the 77yr old a workout.

Built a set of fuel rails for my buddies sc3800 fiero.

The computer was disconnected from the cnc mill so I did it on the monarch.
