It has finally been primed! Check it out! I fixed my hood woes with a junkyard special, and I left it unprimed because I'm thinking an old crappy paint job will be loads better than a primer job because at least the paint is sealed.

It's a surprise I did get this much done. I have to come back up to Crescent City to work on it for mostly a Saturday because I come back too late on Friday and Sunday I have to get ready to get back to Eureka for college.

My mysterious passenger door is frustrating. At first when you locked it it would stay locked; even if you unlocked it. Yesterday I noticed something not connected right and reconnected it, now it stays unlocked regardless. I just can't win. There must be something else disconnected.

I'm supposed to be getting my exhaust leaks fixed over spring break and to begin getting the materials to paint it over the summer.

Hi Kenneth; To bad about the motor. You should try to sell it rather than scrap it. Someone will buy it.

Man, do not junk this car! Put a 4 sale sign on it and sell it to someone else. Hell, you could give it away!! This is partly why these cars ( and old cars in general are so scarce. But I digress. It was fun while it lasted tho, wasn't it? Good luck with your next project>
