We had the ol “Niner” out this weekend and it was definitely a family affair! As usual good times were had by all.:3gears:
As you may note, my daughter has a heavy right foot. Wonder where she gets that from?:dunno:

My brother Jake drove his Chevelle down to our folks house.
He has it all sorted and it looks/sounds killer!
Hope everyone had a great Fathers Day weekend.

Spent the day yesterday doing some fluid maintenance on the 409. Our son surprised us with a last minute weekend home from the Big City and he helped with the tasks. My wife and mom had to go to a baby shower in the suburbs so we spent the day working in Dad's garage doing routine stuff. Anti-freeze drain and fill, oil and filter change (taught him about canister type filters), suction out and refill the brake fluid in the master cylinder, drain and fill the trans and diff too which had not been done since the new engine install 3 years ago. Adjusted the parking brake a bit and removed an aftermarket sway bar installed a few years back. Also installed a new fan clutch in an attempt to help hot weather engine temperature management.

We were able to run the car over for a visit with Dad and brought him out to see it as well. For those that may not know - earlier this year we had to admit him to a nursing facility as his health continues to decline - a tough but necessary decision. Enjoy every minute with your loved ones while you can.

Here are some random under car pictures - the car was body off restored back in the 2000-ish time frame and has held up pretty well.
