2 potential LS swaps

I did my underbody, trunk and engine bay in Raptor Liner. Good stuff. Keep plugging away, slow progress is better than no progress (like my car lately) Yikes

Agreed, Raptor is a nice hard coating. The spray gun setup is awkward but it got it done. I can't get it to chip off my test piece by smoking it with a hammer.
Ya, Im already at the point where I just want my car back on the road and I have a mound of other projects in the way now

We love the Bonneville. Any progress since April? I wanna drive that thing again!

Ok, you asked for it...  Are you ready?  
Your not ready
Well tree planting ate up over a month of my time this spring.  The larger size Norway Spruce i ordered was a no go (bad crop) so they sent me 360 of the size 2 (8" trees) instead of 120 of the size 3 (18" trees).  I had also ordered 100 White pine plugs and 50 Quaking Aspen.  And before they showed up we were getting drowned in rain so the farmer that formerly rented our field couldn't get into it till the last minute.  But he was able to disk all the high ground he could get to so I could spread field grass seed before trees came.  Too much stress, followed by an ass kicking week of planting with my dad.  But its done and the Norways are lovin life with 6" of new growth on them so far!

In other news...
I started working on interior wiring last winter. I pulled the rear speaker wires back to the front and rerouted them to the drivers side wireway. all of the noisy high power stuff is on the passenger side now. Rear speaker wires will be accompanied by Aux speaker wires I am adding to each door. Ill mount an amp in the trunk someday to drive them.
Im also running trigger wires to the trunk to turn on the amp I don't have, fire an Nos trunk latch solenoid I bought on ebay, and to pull in a fuel pump relay. I installed a tilt switch to wire in some trunk lights eventually.

My steering column had loose bolts "as they do"  So I ordered a couple pullers and rebuilt it.  It also had a broken turn signal cancel spring and needed a new stalk.  My stalk was an oddball.  Chrome with cruise and non intermittent wipers.  It is the most expensive version. So I ordered one with intermittent wipers for Original Parts Group along with a pair of Buick GNX fender vents.

Cleaned up my HVAC control.  The fan switch lever was broke off which is pretty standard.  I used a Summit sticker for the blend indicator

 Tail lights
It took 3 Bonnevilles to build this...
I can usually find around 5 right side tail lights on Ebay but a mint left side tail is a unicorn.  Why that is Ill never know.  I bought a pair of tails recently just for the mint left lens.  Buffed it and the chrome trim I got from another car years ago.  Then cleaned up the original housing off my 86 and repainted the silver bezel.
