Yup, had the little one help me too. She got a kick out of the sticky stuff. Got those areas buffed up and shiney along with the wash. Now Chubbs looks "pretty" for Bristol this weekend.....

 

FINALLY received the Colgan bras that I ordered back in June. Easy install, Kim really likes the new look. She says they make the car go faster. I really need to get some pics up.

 

Had the HHR detailed today. It is now a shiny silver bullet! Had a local shop do what the dealer should have when we bought it 2 weeks ago. Thinking about takin' it to our local car club car show tomorrow, even though it is completely a stock 1LT. Does have a lot of the toys for it: luggage rack, running boards, moon-roof, etc.

 

Switched the Panel over to SS springs, WOW, it's just right. I couldn't be happier with it. Film at eleven.

 

Doin' my first show with the HHR tomorrow! Made up poster with info about the "heritage" with the '49 Suburban. Should be fun!

 

Ahhhhhh! I've spent all week cleaning everything on this car for the show tomorrow. And guess what. I drive through a sprinkler this morning. It was dark I couldn't see it. The water spots will not come off the the hood. I've used cleaner, wax, etc. I'm so frustrated.

 

Polishing compound will fix that spot problem, use it sparingly. It's 11:00 some where, here is the before and after, it really reminds me of the SS driving it, just a little smoother, due to the FE-3 shocks.

 

The 3 Volume set of 2008 A/SUV Service Manuals just arrived. Big and Heavy they are.

NICE, I'm gonna LIKE having these babies here thats for sure.

 

Looks great Sam.

Detailed, cleaned, etc. ready for the show.

 

Nice Sam!

Decided to paint my calipers and repaint my drums and while I was at it I figured I'd try to find the culprit to my front end suspension noise. The first thing I checked was the bolts that hold the struts on...low and behold I could turn them with my fingers...

I torqued them both up to 100 pounds so I hope that will keep them snug. I'm guessing since that was the last side we did when we installed the springs and I burried my knuckle into the rotor...I must not had some back to finish tightening them. That should take care of the creaking noise I hope.
