Yeah, no salute this time. He was feeling pretty bummed out. Andrea made him ride back with the tow truck driver as punishment. Of course earlier in the day he made the mistake of comparing the Gold Car to her supercharged Range Rover rocket.
We both felt a lot better when we got the valve cover off and saw the pushrod sticking up and it wasn't bent. Even better yet when we got it back together it fired right up with no drama.
I'm buffing the Gold Car out today and it's really starting to look good. It's kind of frustrating though because this is original Van Nuys 38 year old paint and it's thin and soft. I can't put much pressure on it and therefore am having to leave a lot of imperfections behind. The top radius of the B pillars are already showing through so I can't even buff those areas. Regardless, it iooks a lot better.
Everyone have a great day. Get out and beat on your car...
