Valve cover, gaskets, and 949 lug nuts are in. Got some friends coming to help with finishing the garage this weekend, but maybe I can get around to working on this Sunday afternoon. Wing should be in next week.

Get a dog. Or Three. And then a horse. We've been on the 5 year plan for 8 years now.

Eh...wife doesn't like animals much, so we dont have to worry about that wrench in the gears

With the help of some good friends, beer, pizza, an awesome wife, and a little blood, the new baby's crib has been upgraded with insulation, sheet rock, and new outlets and lighting.

Glad I didn't go........would have just gotten in the way. Garage is so much BRIGHTER! Now you have to epoxy the floor.

Looking really good! Yes a new valve cover is NICE!!! SOOO RED. I agree.
