Buick CPR- Car Part Replacement update

The Skylark roared back to life at 10:00 p.m. on Saturday evening, now just needs a few tweeks on the carburetor, and should be good to go until the next planned overhaul of something in it! I see why guys like to tear apart an old car and put it back together, when the car started, it was like we had done CPR on a friend and they had come back to life! I'm sure the neighbors heard my screams and squeals, or the manly roars of excitement!!

What happened to my dining room?

My dining room table has become a workshop. Carburetor rebuild is taking place on my table, smells so manly in there! It's fun listening to the banter going on back and forth. It's fine with me that the kitchen has become a man zone, I haven't cooked in days!!

A new project in the house!

Ben is home this week and my house looks like a man cave! Randy took the week off too, so they could work together on Ben's "new" car, a 1972 two-toned Buick Skylark, Other than the clear coat that someone put on it peeling, it's a honey of a car, the interior is in really good shape, the exterior has a small dent on the front fender from being hit by a Volkswagen, I understand the VW was a totality, but the Buick is basically unscathed.Yea American Made! I got home from work yesterday to the tune of "Don't be mad..." They had the carburetor spread out on my kitchen table, my entire house smells of Gasoline and Grease! But, life is short, it's fun seeing them working together and looking like 2 of Santas elves working on a project! How could I be mad? Last night was also that night that several of Ben's graduating class decided to stop by, I had gone to bed and layed there and listened to the banter and laughter coming from the kitchen table. I love these kids! The house gets awfully quiet when Ben returns to school, but, it is so much fun watching how he's changing and preparing for his future life.
