The shit is getting real very fast in our area.

The shit is getting real very fast in our area.

After last night’s thunderstorm and lightning the morning roads up in the hills have been washed off clean.

This is the latest COVID-19 status for our general area.

The shit just gets worse.

This pandemic doesn’t show any signs of slowing down and we are now heading into the colder winter months when cold and flu is the normal.

Well, I’ve been looking at this 1964 Impala SS for a few weeks now. If everything turns out right I’ll be getting it next week sometime. This is a Canadian built GM Impala that is pretty much stock as can be.

This ride is unmolested in regards to being all chopped up sheetmetal wise or frame notched. If the deal works out it will come with a brand new air ride system. The air ride will be a 5 gallon tank, two Viair compressors, mono block assembly and all the other supporting hardware.

Picked up the driver side brake cylinder on the way home from work.

UPDATE: picked up the passenger side cylinder and rubber brake hose. I figured I may as well replace both sides since the drums are already off each side.

I also grabbed the rubber hose that connects to the rear of the brake cylinder. I took a gamble and bought the longer of the two hoses available at my local parts store and it turned out to be too long, about 8mm. I’ll pick up the shorter hose tomorrow and use the longer hose on the passenger side where it probably belongs.

Here’s the update for our local area.

Spent Saturday morning getting the shop ready for my sons ballast removal on his 2006 Acura TL. What a freakin’ bitch it is to get to the actual part. You literally have to remove the entire front bumper assembly along with supporting brackets and covers. Not to mention the battery has to removed too.

I don’t know what a shop would charge but accessing the lower bumper screws and fasteners is difficult because of the low stance.

Once the bumper and supporting hardware is removed you’re able to remove the actual headlamp which has the ballast attached to it on the underside.

It turned out that the left blinker lamp wasn’t working so a quick trip to the auto parts store was needed.
