Well I didn't mention that POS air filter, but having had one burn my hood years ago, I sure was thinking hard about it! Maybe my mental telepathy is starting to kick in!?
Guess what I'm thinking now!

Whever a box arrives here it's not a problem. It's when the credit card bill arrives that my wife brings it to me with the bill in one hand and the other hand out for the money! She said, "buy all the car parts you want, but you're paying the bill when it comes."

My wife takes care of all the finances from the accounting end. I just provide the funds. Sometimes I wish it was different, but she's always kept us afloat financially, so can't really complain much. Sort of a checks and balances system that works.

Ok continued playing frogger and hopping around on different projects on the camaro today (thanks for the imagery paul worked on stopping surface rust a bit more. Thats not really a final fix just a temp stop gap while it sits outside with no paint on it also continued on my interior removal project. Got the drivers seat out (sadly by cutting that leg off, still havent gotten the damn bolt out) and also got the gauges out. Nothing to save there. Gauges are junk, surround is junk, and the dash cap is junk. and now the photos . . .

stripped the roof down a few layers and got the majority of the rust and old paint off. Im going to throw some cheap primer over it for now just as a temp hold.
