    Well, now. Some politcial pundits and "experts" would argue that those groups did cost Bush the election...he just stole it.:tsk:

    Of course, I believe that like I believe that T.L. is an un-assuming, keep to himself, opinionless participant.:D

    More progress was made today. We dropped the gas tank and removed all the stereo equipment that was mounted behind the rear seat. We now have full access to repair the trunk. John Taylor did a good job getting the hood back in tip top shape and lined up on the front. Jamie was there today helping out and good 'ol Earl is still pitching in. Frank and Effie showed up for a few minutes. Effie hogged the heater and Frank had somewhere else to go when we try to hand him a mask.

    Yep, I had a good time with the wire wheel in the trunk. :clap:

    I am completely impressed with John's body work skills. That guy knows what he's doing for sure. This is going to be one hell of a nice car.

    I just got home. Time to go jump in the shower, I'm completely covered in orange dust.

    Hey, I pulled the entire stereo, amp, gas tank, package tray, insturment cluster, and got started on pulling the dash. Pulled the gas tank AFTER we stood around forever waiting on it it to drain because someone (not mentioning any names here ;) ) filled it almost completely up. :rolleyes: Then Earl got the idea to blow air down the filler neck with the air compressor which turned the slow trickle comeing out into a fast stream. We drained the gas tank into a 6 gallon can which we were emptying into a big 28 gallon tank every time it got full. Filled the 6 gallon tank up 3 1/2 times.

    We all got alot done today. Earl did alot of sanding. :)
