I had the A/C system charged at Jeffery Motors in Kenosha by Dave, Pete and Jeff......they also found a couple of &quot;Rattles&quot; under the car.....Loose Bolts.....Duhhhh!!!.....




Then the car went down to Nostalgic Auto Body in Island Lake, Ill where Joe and Kevin worked their magic on aligning the doors, fenders, window glass, added the rocker trim and found more loose bolts......Duhhhh!!!





Drove home and decided to put it up on the lift and check every bolt.....LOL........Now.....I still have the problem of the rear pads being loose in the Seville Calipers.....worked the parking brake like crazy and still loose....so....I wasn't happy with the braking of the car....while on the lift I noticed something on the inside of the rear wheel....looked a little closer and realized that the axle seal was leaking and the rotor was covered in oil........Took everything apart and found that the seal was riding right on the edge of the axle surface that was exposed to the weather and the pock marked area ate the seal...DARN!!!!........After looking around for one of those repair sleeves to fix it, I couldn't find the right size....Darn!!.......so I bought another seal and I was able to install it another 1/8&quot; deeper into the housing so it would ride on a good surface........I also noticed a lot of metal flakes in the drained rear end grease......Double Darn!!!.......Two weeks to Power Tour......Ordered new axles and ring and pinion today...LOL!!!

Looking great!
