Day 201 - 11/30/12 Needs more low

Decided she's *still* riding to high in the front. So to achieve that "perfect" stance, we need to once again pull a Chip Foose and cut some more off the springs.

Dad simulating the new level of lowness that could be achieved, if the price is right.

About a third of coil this time, hopefully this will be it.

What's funny is each time we do this, the springs go in easier each time...! Needed to cut some off the control arm bump-stops this time too. 

Day 200 - 11/26/12 Christmas garage

Thanksgiving time means Christmas lights time!

Day 199 - 10/8/12 Corvettes

What's funny is, I pretty much drive a Corvette now. I mean we've got the wheels, and now the steering wheel! Except the body isn't made out of fiberglass...

My Uncle Mike had a set of the stubby caps on his El Camino that he's not driving it anymore. So, I asked him if I could rock them on my car for awhile and he agreed. So just for fun and a different look, I've now got 'shallower' caps and I think it looks a lot cleaner.

Washing everything up and getting ready for the caps.

Installed! A different look, I like it.

Day 118 - 10/2/12 New steering wheel

Looks like we're back for another long overdue update. Just crazy how time flies. 

I can remember on this day when we put this '72 Corvette steering wheel in the car, I had just got home from work as I was still wearing my America's Tire shirt. I had been wanting to get something different, something "cooler" than the stock one that was in there. Oh boy was that cool (still is!) 3 spoke aluminum wheel verses the original fully plastic covered one.

Using an old puller to break the spines apart, after centering and marking it, of course.

More pieces to the puzzle, man that made me even more proud!

Day 117 - 9/16/12 Garage shots

Random garage shots. I get the privilege of parking my car in the garage, sharing it with one of Dad's projects.

All steel 32 Ford Roadster, put on the back burner for now.

Day 116 - 9/5/12 Back to school

First day of school has found me. Been daily driving the car for a few months now so she's ready mechanically. I've been waiting for this since I started going to Alki, the middle school next door. When riding the bus to middle school, we passed Skyview, and the senior lot. Man, I was ready to be of age to drive then and there!

Hard toppin' it with all smiles.

Seeya in a Kia!

Day 115 - 8/25/12 Family & friends cruise-in

One of my Grandpa's friends and family that has become a family friend to our family now too invited us to a little private cruise-in at his house today. Kind of excited because I'll be able to drive my car there this year.

Parked next to my Grandpa's '32 Ford 2-door sedan in all grins.

Day 114 - 7/24/12

Enjoying a day in the middle of summer break before senior year, flying by as always. Interior won't be completed, but the exterior will be and that's really what matters.

Full tank of gas in the rear and still riding a little high in the front, might have to fix that again soon...

Day 113 - 7/21/12 Crusin' the Gut

Cruisin' the Gut day! An annual car cruise that's been going on a few years that's centered around downtown Vancouver and how it was to cruise around "back in the day". I actually met the guy that started up the cruise at Dairy Queen one night, very cool guy. I really enjoy the cruise because I can relate to the area as well as my Dad can. It just get's bigger and bigger each year, making it hard to get around, but it is still fun regardless. On to some pictures!

Cooling off at the top of the strip with Dad.

 Broke out some chairs to watch the cars going by.

Cooling off once again at Hi-School Hardware.
