When putting on the front brakes, the shop broke a retaining spring - so Monday morning, I’ll be calling Bernbaum/Kanter/usual suspects for a set to FedEx directly to Drexel Automotive. But they put me on alert - they want to give Faulkner a driving test, and the Dick Koch patented milk crate seat ™ won’t do. They want a bona fide seat. So, I spent today cleaning up and painting the front seat frame, even though I still have to replace two broken mounting bolts. I’ll take care of that once Faulkner is home.

_Note to self: This is how the springs go. The "poor man’s bead blaster" to the rescue in cleaning these up!_

_It was mild today - cooler in the Faulkner garage than outside! A little heater help with drying the paint_

Tomorrow night I’ll slap everything back together, and deliver Tuesday morning to the shop.
