Far from quiet! Kid's out of school, weddings, graduations, retail business, sold a bike, bought welding equipment, re-organizing garage space, landscape maintenance, etc. Haven't even had a chance to drive the car this month, whenever there was the time it was raining.

I reproduced a tunnel cover to similar to the first one. Console is out due to shifter location.

The engine builder appear too busy to get me a bid, so I backed off the motor plan. The new plan is to pull the existing motor to properly seal the *@$# leaking oil pan and install the AFR heads and Performer RPM Air Gap manifold and drive it. That should wake the motor up over the stock cast 2.02's and Torker II manifold enough to satisfy me this year.

Spent the new motor money on a TIG, MIG, and Plasma cutter which means I need to add a two more 250V 30-50 amp services in the garage this weekend. Then I'll start the TIG home school for dummies program. First project will be a larger layout/welding table. If all goes well I'll attempt to make a console out of .25" rod and light guage sheet metal with CUP Holders and maybe an AV panel.
