I also touched up the bolts that the paint was chipped on when installed. I may have to give them one more coat.

This morning I went to start the car and it was flooded. I should have known better than to start the car without letting it warm up over the weekend. The spark plugs were due to be changed anyway. By some miracle, advanced auto had the NGK plugs in stock. I pulled the plugs and blew out the gas before I replaced the plugs. Car started right up.

I had hoped to get more work done on the car since the meet. I also planned to go to a car show in Woodland Park on Saturday. I case anyone hasn't noticed, we've had a little rain.


That is all

There is a car show on Peterson AFB on the 21st as well. I was planning on getting ready for that but my starting problem has gotten worse. Just so you know, this car show is open to the public too, so you could enter your car there too.

OK disregard. I just noticed it says it's open to eligible users to Peterson. Back when it first came out it was open to everyone.

Oh yeah, hope you get your car good to go for the show.
