Good stuff, Bluz! My computing box is being finicky at the moment and I can't open the attachments. Ya might say I can't see the big picture, nyuk nyuk nyuk. I'll try again later.

There were some big problems with Proboards yesterday. Everything is clicking along now. - Bluz, she looks great. Solid. One sweet Blumo coming up.

Thanks Steam......I am ready to get her done...hope to make a lot of progress this winter. ;D I remember pulling it off the car hauler when I got it back to Maryland. I pulled it onto my lift for a closer belly inspection and my jaw nearly hit the floor when I saw how much play the idler arm had in it..about 1 inch! My brother drove this car 100 miles back to his house in Alabama for storage until I could arrive to pick it up. Thank God..that damn thing didn't snap on his drive back. I asked him before driving it back to his house..."If it looks sketchy or unsafe to drive back"..do not feel obligated to drive it. He decided to chance it.......and after driving it back to his house..... I remember him mentioning that it ran good and rode smooth but the steering seemed to have some "Play" in it Hail to the Bluesmos!
