Hey All,
Saturday, June 21, 2019, Afternoon Update:

As a prelude to going out and about, the first thing to do was to wash Ms. American's windows, and to move the Ramps out to the Car Port. With those TWO things done, it was time to get out and about.

Ms. American started right up and away we went.

First Stop was at the Inspection Station to see if the Inspector would look up on his computer to see if the Policy Number supplied by the NEW Insurance Company was in the Texas Data Base. Alas, he couldn't do that. Don't know if he couldn't, or just wouldn't, but in either case, it didn't get done.

It was then to the SAYCO Hardware where was acquired a NEW Genesis Brand SawZall, TWO Metal Cutting Blades and THREE Drill Bits the right size to drill holes for the Pop Rivets on hand.

Then twas on to the Circle K for TWO Gallons of Milk.

Upon arriving home, the old Gal's Front End was put up on the Ramps, in preparation for a bit of work tomorrow when it's cool and the 3.14 isn't hot from running.

Some time back, Ms. American had trouble starting. That was remedied by tightening the Nut on the Starter where the Cable from the Solenoid is attached. Tightening that NUT helped by lessening the hesitation in starting, but was not able to tighten it as TIGHT as it SHOULD be because of the limited room in that area. There is the Engine Block on one side, the Cast Iron Shorty Headers on the other side, and the Nut is on top of the Starter.

After thinking about it for some time, the thought occurred that a LONG Wrench was being used, and that a SHORT Wrench would give more TURNING ROOM. So have found the proper size Wrench, but a SHORTER length. Am going to see tomorrow morning if we can TIGHTEN the Nut and maybe make the 3.14 START better.

In any case, the old Gal did fine this morning. We're back to working on Lorrie Van Haul, thanks to Ms. American transporting me around.

Anyway, will keep you all updated if, when, and as progress occurs.

Take care everyone.
