It has been a lousy week here. It was cold until Thursday. Then it rained 5.9"s in one day. Then it turned cold again. On top of that I had to set up for a garage sale on Saturday.
I did get a chance to go through some of the parts that came with the car and found a receipt for the gas tank straps. It stated that they are stainless so I shouldn't have to worry about them.
And, on a side note, I typed this reply 3 times before I remembered to post it!
