Well the 5-12’s that I’ve been working since September are finally over. I can get back to a somewhat normal life. I hope to make it to Vegas for the MATS this March. Here is what has been going on recently since I finally got some time off from work. I haven’t posted much but I have been keeping up with this site.
When I started this project I had every intention of finishing in a reasonable amount of time. As you can tell by the date stamp on the pictures it has already been a year. I encountered several setbacks during this project, new A/C & heat, dishwasher and washer & dryer. Another setback was that I am not a paint & body guy. A friend at work was advising me as I went along. I learned a lot but I don’t think I would take on the body panels. The white on the left shock tower is actually paint. When you check the battery cell levels be sure to put the caps back on BEFORE going for a ride! The painter determined that the white was added to “tone down” the yellow. When the car was painted in 1993 I did not remove the K member and believe that was the reason for poor adhesion near the frame rails. This time the WHOLE compartment was taken apart.
