The reveal will be very soon, I'm about done with the small stuff. I'm mostly just waiting to hear back from the guy that has my strut bars but more than likely I'll get some pictures up tomorrow.

I am happy to be. I,ll take this alero over about anything. 33mpgs and enough power for my purposes at least. Much better to work on the mustang and gto. My only complaint is the strut mount and the front end shows it mileage but all that was going to get done anyway. Few dents here and there but that's what you get with older cars. Still drives better then half the new crap they make now a days!

I replaced the front seats in my F500 alero so they don't get damaged. It's so easy to swap seats now compared to my old Cutlass Ciera. Trying to keep the unique stuff in good shape and the replacement seats were only $25/piece not bad.

I charged my AC with some A/C Pro. Super product with just the right length of hose. I do hate living in Calif. though we pay a $10 core charge. One other thought about charging the A/C... My car had been sitting in the sun all day and I only ran it for maybe 10 min's... Burned the crap outta my forearm pulling the hose off and capping the fitting LOFL. Anyone have a way to so this without burning yourself? Long sleeve shirt maybe?

I replaced my drivers side back window motor setup as the clip broke. The good thing is that I was able to get a Dorman one for only $50 off of Amazon.com, way cheaper than even rockauto.com.

The update on the OSV...........wing almost done. Got the new interior. Welded the rear quarter on the car. Next is fixing the rust on the other quarter then begin the nightmare called OSV rockers. Also gut trunk and interior. Redo in leather. New sound system. New gauges. Embroidered headrests.
Almost forgot........more chrome.
