    been workin on the Nicole's 96 roadmaster (rollin sofa 2). Cleaning up some rusty floors from the underneath to keep them from turning into holes :49:! This is not my best work but Hey! It's going to be a driver and it needs to be done and ready to go by mid august 2012. Still have plenty of other things that need attention. So here are some shots of what was done.

    Thanks guys! Just had the exshaust welded up and now all the leaks are gone. (woo hoo!!) car sounds great. I will keep photos coming as I contine the progress on this beast. I now have to take the car in for it's emission test and then it will be on the the floor section under the fuel tank. At that time I am going to inspect the condtion of the pump and unit it is mounted into. the lines on those get really rusted up and crunchy here in the old midwest. Take care Dan

    May I ask what is hip resurfacing? I had two titanium hip replacements. The surface of my hips looks just as beautiful as ever ---except for small scars!:rofl2:

    Wait a minute. The head is not mine, it's on the wagon. My original head is perfectly good and full of bright ideas.:biglaugh:I do have those Buick teeth though.
