Re: Why I'm not working on the '59

Roger,
The weather here has been fine, I have a heater core to replace.. haven't even started. I might be burning out. I was perfectly happy to be planting bulbs for my wife and granddaughter. I promise I will do the heater core within the week....weather permitting.

Re: Colorado Belvedere Convertible progressing

The inner seal is usually the problematic seal. Any real autoparts supply can find them, I can look up numbers when I get to work.
