aka 'the bird' goes to the garage.
Spent from 10am til 5pm at the shop today with Chuck working on Binabox. Didn't touch the engine (grrrr) but I suppose we got a lot done. ~shrugs~ Car's off the rotissiere and on 4 wheels now. 2 coats of paint, 2 coats of clearcoat and John sanded a bit on the hood (by hand) and the polished a small area to get a good looksee. Camera froze up on me, so I don't have pics of that, but I have some others -- later. I'm hot (92 here today), sweaty and HUNGRY!!! I'll post a couple pics later.
Chuck leaves Monday for a week or longer fishing. She'll be sanded and polished by the time he comes home and I'll have wheels, top, carpeting, seats, door panels, mirrors and a few other bits ordered and hopefully here when he comes back. Along with the last few bits that need painted. Then it's build the engine and drop it in, the tranny, and WOOHOO, downhill from there!
Oh, did I mention I have to do a lot of polishYUCKing while he's gone? And decide if the bumpers are salvageable (doubtful) or if I want them rechromed or order repros. And same with the grille.
Man, it was either clean house & do laundry or work at the garage. I'll take the garage any day!
