    Cleaned the garage AGAIN :bs:..
    Painted the inside areas of the pillars and posts. Found the small plastic pieces that go at the dash ends. Cleaned and sanded and painted those.
    Thinking about glueing the insulator material I have to the roof interior. I am wondering how much clearance there is for the headliner.
    Feels good that SOMETHING got done.

    Took her out for a cruise through town. Had some punk in a Honda riding my tail thinking he has some sort of hot rod. I had to show him what American muscle is all about. Oh yeah...Left some rubber on the pavement and smoke in the air. :D

    [​IMG] Finally was able to lay down the silver metallic paint in the motor compartment !!! Took me 3 times trying to shoot single stage silver metallic in there. Got 1 run and a little error in the flake but their on the back side of the shock towers and you can't see them from the front and everyone will be looking at the motor anyways.....next is the new front end then drop the motor and tranny in

    I just bought an engine stand and will pick-up my 302 and go through it and my C4 next week. I've got to put a set of tires on it and replace the entire service brake system too.
