Default Back On The Road!

Somebody fixed my car! I waited a long time I noticed some coolant leaking at work September 2015. I couldn't find a bad hose so I took it to my Chevrolet dealer. They checked it and found a bad head gasket. I had trouble getting somebody to fix it so I asked my neighbor if she could recommend a mechanic because she works for McLaughlin Motor Museum in Parkersburg WV. She was on tv with Burt Reynolds at the Scottsdale Barett Jackson auction in January. That's why I had to wait, they were working on the Smokey and The Bandit Trans Am. They fixed my car for free!

It didn't. Your link doesn't actually point to a picture or pictures. It just points to the photobucket web site.

I'm really sorry I messed this up. I didn't know how to copy things with the computer so I did it manually and I didn't see the whole link in the textbox. The sad thing is I waited until I finished a free adult education computer class to make this post.
Barrett Jackson, sorry about my spelling.
I also got a new set of Kumho tires. I got 245s because that's what was on my car the eight years I have been driving it. When I went to get tires they just looked at what was on it then when they installed them somebody checked and found out it was supposed to have 255s. 245s work great.
I also got an oil leak fixed. Somebody hit something long ago. The oil pan was dented and cracked and had been repaired unsuccessfully with silicone. The dent is gone and the crack is welded. It's so nice to be able to park and not make a mess!
That's Renegade #0057 on my 84
My fan is wired so it runs all the time, I hated shutting the car off when it was 230 it rarely gets over 200 now
I got a new Duralast water pump too, my Edelbrock leaked after 3yrs, it may have been the way it was installed, it wasn't really a factory fit.
I'm also really sorry about taking so long to get back to this post. Stuff happens
