wow, the impossibility of getting a rebuilt steering rack for a C5 or C6 is pretty remarkable.... I bought another used one, figure I'll get my current one rebuilt (maybe?)

autox weekend.... the motorhome, it's beyond slow
and I need to fix the trailer brakes - developed a short on the trip
looking for a short - and need to replace one tire...
I also took the opportunity to repack wheel bearings - this trailer is going to get a work out over the next few weeks...

It was a busy night for Trio, had to hide Luigi's ball
yet they are peas in a pod... there is a 6 or so month age difference
back to C3 content
I can move the exhaust pipe towards the car. Granted, it's no longer parallel, but I have a thought
that it will help deflect noise
I'm close, within 1 db...

Moving sucks and to think about moving all your tools!

beta version etch primer
installed
rivet the rubber spoiler on
install edges
it's also bolted to the frame through the bottom of the radiator cladding
also, rather then hard attach to the fenders, the rubber stoppers will keep the metal in place but also allow it to give if I get too low....
fun fun
spoiler - wider and remove the lift from the nose (no catfish nose lift)
what's left? reverse lights and figure out why the lighter plug isn't working... then it goes in the garage to await its first racing of the season (mid-May)... and that schedule is Spokane May 15ish, and PIR May 27....
Also, need to finish up some things on the motorhome but it's close...
oh yeah, and buy 2 houses, a commercial property then move 300 miles --------> way
oh and get a puppy this weekend.
and commute to Idaho for Buick parts.
