Yeah it was pretty cooperative. The grille was the worst part, and the rest went easy. Interior will be a hour or so, no more. Cleaning will take more time!

My wife and I were in the Portland area and got to go by and meet Val and see the Austin. First off THANKS VAL!!!! Great to meet you and put a face to the name.

We loved seeing your cars. As for the Austin, WOW WOW WOW!!! I can't belive my wife is still talking about it and asking questions. Loved seeing your camaro up close, she has asked a good amount of questions about it and how some things are done.

Thanks again Val for the time , it was worthwile!!!

Got the interior door panels and window trim installed today. Had time leftover so I fabbed up the mounts for the wheelie bars. Need to go to Oregon spring tomorrow and have them bend up the U bolts to mount them, as the ones I have are too long, and not enough thread.

Got the U bolts built this morning at Oregon Spring after two trips. They made the first set wrong, but they were nice about it. So I got under the rear and installed the wheelie bars. Supposed to be sunny here Thurs. so made the appointment to have the lettering done on the sides Thurs.

Thanks! We'll see if I leave them on once I find out if they give me any trouble going out or in driveways.
