Ordered door insignia

Scheduled appraisal
Appraiser will meet me at the storage facility at about 7:30 Sunday morning before the Autumn Classic Car & Bike Show.
Belt squeaking?
Drove it back to storage after the repairs at Ray’s. There was a horrible squeaking for the first half of the trip (when accelerating from a stop), but it eventually went away. I hope it’s just a belt squeaking…
Wheel and bumper done
Ray’s finished replacing the cracked brake drum and installing the new bumper. I’ll pick up the car later this evening and shuttle it back to storage with Bob’s help.
Brake drum cracked!
Ray called. The left front brake drum cracked while they were replacing the lug studs. I told him to go ahead and order another.
Studs not available!
Ray called. Left-hand threaded studs are no long available. We’ll replace all five studs on that wheel with right-hand studs.
Note to self: Now all the wheels will be standard (right-hand) threads except the driver side rear.
Took it to Ray’s for minor work
Took it to Ray’s to have 2 new lug studs installed and the bumper replaced with the new one.
Repainted speaker horn
Painted speaker horn with “crinkle” finish paint, which should help hide any defects.
