    Every time I do something I snap a couple pics just as a reminder to what it looked like before. I have done several cars and didn't take pics and wish I would have so that's why I'm taking so many of this one.

    I appreciate the offer, and may take you up on it when I get ready to put it back in......................the thing weighs a ton and setting the pre-load is a little difficult with only one set of hands.:Handshake

    If you feel like coming to Canada you can come help sand mine! I tried to invite my friend to a "block sanding party" but he's out working in Alberta...working. Your more than welcome to join, looks like you really know what your doing.

    Ive tried recruiting some friends help as well...everybody is always so "busy" when it comes to this! Truth is though, I like doing I all myself..cause I dont have to monitor a buddys help! If only you were down here in the states I could for sure help ya out. It's so time consuming and exhausting. I thought this hobby was supposed to be fun lol. I have so many days sanding the filler smooth..

    I have been stuck painting and rearranging inside the house. Hopefully work on car more soon. :(

    Managed to order some parts and get my license plates cleaned up at least.
