Hear that? Its the sound of crickets.

Yes, the dog days of summer are here and my blog has been quiet for some time. I've been tied up with a project I'm woking on for a new business venture and it has essentially taken over my life so I haven't had a whole lot of time to do work on the car. This project should let up a bit by the end of September. It has also just been too hot to work out in the garage. I live by Lake Michigan which usually has a nice cooling effect during the summer but the heat this year has been unprecendented, temperatures in the high 80's and 90's with humidy hovering around 90% is not comfortable. Last year I ran the air conditioning 3 days, this year is has been running straight for over two months. I feel like I was just complaining that it was too cold to work on the car.

Needless to say, I am still working on cleaning up the valley of death. I have a new fuel distrubutor and CPR on the way. I knew my fuel distributor was in need of work, and I wasn't sure about the CPR and I came across a set on the DMCTalk forums so I decided to just get both to make sure I am set to go.

The front grill for VIN 1470 was missing and I also managed to pick up a used one in nice condition. Once the car arrives I will be able to put it on. Yes, I'm still waiting for it to arrive. The company I normally used seems to be out of business so I had to look for another company to move the car, which is tricky in the auto transport industry, which isn't known for it stellar reputation. I hope it arrives in one piece!
