Not been on c5 for a while. My 57 year old brother passed away with undiagnosed heart failure in his sleep a couple of weeks ago. Therefore, I have not felt like doing anything very automotive lately (cruisin or working on car shed). We use to go watch a lot of short track dirt car racing together. Going to leave a hugh hole in that part of my life.

My fathers side of the family have/are living up into their upper 80's and 90's. My mothers side has a weakness with my grandfather passing at 66 in his sleep and my grandmother was 92. Quess my brother got dealt the bad hand. However, I know that each deck has more than one bad hand so I am going to get my ticker checked out by the doctors.

Yesterday, I got back my 1998 OEM Monte Carlo Hood. The paint shop guys oohhed and ahhed when they touched it for the first time. Had it painted black and decaled with the "Intimidator's" paint job. The picture has lots of glare from the fluorescant lights above. The hood was left over from my families chevy dealership when it was closed due to the dealer reduction. Going to hang it in the car shed.

Hope everyone has a safe 4th of July !!
