    Yup!! :oops:

    I really like the smaller diameter wheel...I'm still looking for a Pontiac emblem horn button instead of that Firebird style.

    Nice job on the carpet install.

    I picked up a horn button at a wrecking yard that only had the Pontiac V in red. I don't remember exactly what model, GP comes to mind, but it has been a lot of years. I gave the wheel and button to my buddy for his '57 2dr post, I'll get a pic of it for you which may help identify it. I really liked the feel of that wheel and miss it.

    That's the same steering wheel we have in our Chevy powered 1941 Ford. It is really confused! Car is yeller and wheel is black with white spokes. I like the feel of it. :clap:

    I let the air out of one of tires on my non running 66 Ford so the father-in-law can't park his RV in my carport.

    "Sorry old timer, the tires flat I can't move it"

    I'll find out tomorrow. Ian did some body work on the rear bumper the other day, or , rather, a school mate did; with the help of some ice and snow. It is definitely a "I'm okay but you should see the other guy." situation.

    I backed it out of the garage.
    The pipe that does the kitchen and basement laundry in my house to the septic tank clogged and the lowest point on the line after the basement sump is the garage sink so the sewer water being pushed by pump was filling it then overflowing and flooding the garage. The floor drain took it out of there but what a mess, luckily I keep everything off the floor.
    I had to pull some lines apart and snake it out, all fixed but my garage stinks now.:(
    It smells just like Cleveland did when I was a kid, sort of nostalgic.:)

    Now I get to start filling all those holes (over a hundred) on the body that were used for the body trim as I'll be painting on the trim when the time comes. Kind of like the pic below...
