What Did You Do This Weekend?

I took my Satellite to the All Mopar Spring Round-Up in Issaquah. Although the show was dominated by ‘68 – ‘71 muscle, there were some older Mopars there as well. I really dug this ‘46 Power Wagon owned by Jerry Nelson, which was one of the more nicely restored vehicles at the show, and a real crowd pleaser. Two more pics after the jump.

Tried to replace the FWD wheel hubs on my ‘01 Grand Prix, but the SICK BASTARDS who designed the hub & knuckle buried 2 of the 3 hub bolts. I put the DS back together when I saw I was getting no farther and took it around the corner to the shop.
-
I WAS VINDICATED when the shop had to take off the PS knuckle in its entirety to remove that hub. Even then, the bolts did not cooperate and were removed with a combination of heat, torque, impact, prayer and foul language (not necessarily in that order).
-
Sometimes $500 bucks dosen’t seem like a lot of money.
-
Besides, you win some and lose some. I got away with replacing the catalytic converter on my Firebird days earlier for $130 with a direct-fit bolt-on.

I took my maiden voyage on my motorcycle. Check out page 5 of my Grand Prix if you want to see the pinstriping I did on the bike.
