    I didn't do it, been dealing with bruised or cracked ribs since 4th of July, I had to get my radiator changed in my Roadmaster. I have to admit, I am glad I brought it to work and had it done because it took 5 days waiting on the extra parts I needed! One oil cooler line and finally today got the oil cooler connector that was bad. A brass fitting that screws into a Iron block that a Aluminum fitting connects to, what could go wrong with that! And I do believe it would have been a PITA to change on the ground so I was more than happy to sit that one out. I was so happy I gave my mechanic 1.5 extra hours on ticket for problems and took him to lunch, which made him happy! :D

    Well boys and girls, I have a story to tell on my 67 Buick Sport Wagon. I had to fix the "SGS" on my car. To see me and my ride go to this link on You Tube. Enjoy.

    I went on amazon, and for about $30 I was able to buy LED bulbs for all my interior lights. Now, when I open the door at night, I can actually see the interior! As well as being brighter, I won't have as much draw on the electrical system. I think they look great, and I'll try to get a picture some night.

    Nice video. I'l admit the wagon was sitting much better. But you seem to still have a sagging butt! Or maybe it was an optical disillusionment!:rofl2:

    Had front end alignment done today. Not to many shops want to do alignments on the older cars because it takes a lot longer. Hope my guy doesn't retire soon.:disagree:

    There is another thoughtful use of materials at the radiator hose fitting on the intake manifold. They use an aluminum manifold and fitting, with steel bolts next to water, (coolant) and use one bolt as the ground for the computer and O2 sensor. Relocating the ground away from the water might be a good idea.

    Just installed my thermometer mirror and CD player under the dash. I hate when people hack dashes up to install radios. Otherwise we have just been enjoying it. We have put a little over a thousand miles on it in the last month. We took it to the biggest cruise in we have in our area last Friday. I spent Atleast 2 hours talking to people about it and explaining how I ended up with it and how the tailgate works. Was an awesome time
