Do you know where your cars are?

Its 1:30 am and I just got in from snow blowing and shoveling.

Wasnt sure if my GTA and Formula were there or not.

I snowblowed enough and dug into the snow and I found them :-)

Only took me an hour or so but the driveway is clear and the cars arent buried anymore.

There was 6 more or so inches of snow since I shoveled last at like 3-4pm.

Is it summer yet?

I mean it would be cool if it could snow and be like 80 degrees, I would go skiing or take the t-tops off :-) lol

later

I wasn't home yesterday, but she'd better be snoozing in the garage under her covers! My pops and brother have a '69 Olds Cutlass in the driveway under the knife though...and I'm sure that thing was buried! Poor car...it was my late great aunt's car we brought back from New Mexico where she's driven it since 1969 when she bought it new!

Mine is still at the bodyshop buffed and comming together. And well.. the saga continues, LOL. Its been a PITA getting everything to fit and the nose was no exception. Ended up having to redo the nose as i dammaged the paint while fitting everything up.

Oh well, Live and learn. I guess one thing Im wrestling with is the fact that these cars werent perfect from the factory with respect to body lines and overall fit.

Here is the pic with the nose on. I would have had some more but the battery on my digital camera died ( I really didnt give to @hits cuz it was the pictures that I took earlier of my kids with santa that counted.)

The Glass guy is supposed to come in next week and will hopefully post more pics then.

Looking good.

Our cars fit from day one was pretty good, not perfect, but pretty good.

Working the headlite doors and noses to the hoods and fenders always seem to be a pia whether u kept all the original spacers or not lol

A lot better than the 4th gens anyways *sigh*

Anyways, my '88 is in the parking lot of Tim's apartment complex, but they don't seem to like that very much. My '98 right now is in the garage since I fell asleep at 2pm yesterday and didn't wake up til 9am this morning, but usually it sits out in my driveway.

lol

I would rate the 4th gens better than our cars.

Only biggie I know on 4th gens is the volkswagon with the doors open effect they get once the frt fenders start spreading at the bottom of the doors. I have seen some spread by themsleves and a lot come out cause of people jacking them at the bottom.

tim knows about that too
