Ye Gads!

It's hard to believe it's almost May . . . well, one day to go. The Buick was sold over the weekend going to a new home in St. Joseph, Missouri. That just leaves the 1991 Dodge Dakota and my 1974 MGB Convertible in the project stable . . . I've waffled on fixing the Dakota, but there are some times I realize that I really need a truck when I need it. With the Buick gone, it's time to get the Dakota road-worthy and then onto the MGB. I did finally do something worthwhile on the MGB . . . I dug the old wire-wheel hubcaps out of the trunk and hit them with my favorite Turtlewax Chrome Polish . . . that stuff is fantastic. I was using the paste version many years back on my old 1971 Honda CB450 bike and it worked wonders. I was able to cleanup the first wheel cover and it encouraged me enough to consider working on all four to get them cleaned up. The wire baskets are in horrible shape, so I'll have them sandblasted and powder coated -- then with the chrome polished up, I think they'll look sharp . . .and cheap for now at least. :-) Cheap is good.
