Indeed! It'll take a while, but progress should be quite quick once it returns.

With various body shop jail stories I've read on this forum, I  couldn't resist.  :bigsmile:
Looking forward to seeing it in color.  A different color maybe ? Or staying with yellow?

Changed out my #*^@= leaking chrome water neck. I've fought with this thing for two summers. It was new at the start of 15 but it leaked very little. Pulled it last winter and it was slightly warped so we held it on a belt sander until we had a complete fresh surface. There, that should be flat again and hopefully it's done warping. NO!!! Warped again worse than ever.  :pullinghair: So today I picked up an old one from a speed shop. Looks like it's cast. New gasket and some permatex and I'm good to go.....I hope. Will find out tomorrow, have a two hour run to a show at Sandfest in Sauble Beach. 500+ cars, not sure how many sand sculptures and....

In the first picture I set up the flashlight on my phone behind the water neck to show the warpage. In the second picture the chrome one is not bent although it appears that way. The stamping on the old one is W1423. Does that mean anything to anybody?
