UPDATE, MAY 2001: The car came out of storage mid-April, and after some carburetor tuning I got it to run really well, and smooth in all conditions. I now have my own welder, so I was able to weld up some larger areas, in front of the rear wheels, in the wheel wells. Today, the dual exhaust system is being installed. The muffler guy showed me a sample sound on his 85 Grand-Prix. What a wreck on the inside for a car so much newer than mine. But the exhaust had a nice note. I get the car back tomorrow. I also swapped out the 2-spoke steering wheel for a tan "bent spoke" model that Starksy had, and I changed the factory dome light for the dome/map light combo. Got both those parts in perfect shape. And, I found a great gas tank for $45, which will go on this weekend. The original tank leaks, and is not repairable. I still have to repair the headliner, rebuild the back shelf and install a new carpet. On the exterior, the final prep will begin next week. There are some small surface rust areas that need to be ground down and smoothed, then the whole car is going to get a good washing, and then a wet sanding before priming. I will go with 2 coats of primer, sanding in between, before the final color goes on. I'll post some pics when I have time.
