Got new exhaust from the cat back. Cut my new tail pipe off after the rear hangar and put on a big ol chrome tip. Oil change and washed it for the first time since summer.

Might be getting some work done with Dirty Girl in the next couple weeks. It's been a nice 70 out lately and not raining. So hopefully my dad and I can get the old engine out and talk to my neighbor about a Chevy Van he's got in his backyard. Then I can have something to drive during the day when my husband is at work so I'm not stuck in the house for hours on end.

Got the hole filled in where the factory cassette player was. Fixing to mount switches for off-road lights here. First have to find five matching switches that I like.

glad to hear Dirty Girl is (possibly) gonna be mobile again soon.

nothing worse than a pregnant chick, stuck in the house all day.

Pretty funky and rainy outside today, but I did paint my bowtie anyway. Painted outside and brought it inside the house to dry.

Seafoamed the blazer today. It wasn't the smoke show I expected with 1/3 a bottle in the brake booster line. But it was exiting through dual exhaust so the video only shows 1/2 the smoke.

Dumped another 3rd bottle in the gas tank & the rest will go in the crankcase maybe a couple hundred miles before the next oil change.
Tomorrow will be the trottle body clean with Seafoam Creep.

Amazing how a little touch like that stands out.
Looks sharp!
I got a skull emblem for my bowtie & people actually notice it.

I have been trying to find one around here local. Can't seem to find one that doesn't look cheap or cartoonish. Will have to expand my search, I guess.
