I'm not dead. Neither is my SS.

Post by billzilla » Sun Jan 11, 2009 2:35 pm

Hay guys, just saying hello and that the gold '71 Satellite Sebring is still parked in my driveway awaiting its currently-stalled restoration. I drive it at least once a week and it's needing TLC but still running!

Just had a real bummer of a latter half of 2008. Found myself without a job, girlfriend bailed, mom had a mild heart attack and stepdad is now very sick and hospitalized.

But the car is still here, I'm still here and eventually, God willing, things will at least stay that way until I get re-employed and the work can resume on my Satty.

Good grief, hope 2009 is better on all fronts.
Keep us updated.

Thanks! New boards look cool.

Today I changed the plugs in the Satty and did a little work on the dash. Even in hard times you can usually find a few bucks for a pack of 8 Autolites.

Little worried about the gassy smell coming from my oil (sniffed the valve cover cap), but not much I can do about it now.

Change the oil.
Anyone have suggestion as to gas smell in oil?
Carb too rich?
