    i put the centerlines on after i found all the damn lugnuts, filled the trans and rearend, put the driveline on after i found the right u-joint, spent about 30 min looking for the little u-bolts that hold the u-joint on the third-member, wired up and mounted a temporary electric fan, bolted the steering column back up, dropped it down off the jackstands, and then finally i started it up and backed it out of the garage for the first time on its own power:)

    I painted my kick panels, gauge cluster, rear panels, and pieces for my armrest. I backed the mav out of the garage and cleaned the garage between coats of paint. Then I made some sick aluminum door panels

    well today i got real drugged up for my back pain and was all of a sudden very motivated. so i sanded a door down to metal, removed and sanded both fenders down to metal, did some slight body filler work on the fenders, did alot of body work on the right rear quarter, and removed the trim from the front windshield. oh and i cursed the stupid sob that decided to use 4 tubes of silicone and a bottle of latex caulk to put the windshield and the trim pieces on. that took more time to do than the rest of the stuff. im hoping if the weather stays nice to get it in primer by june but still got a long way to go. the good news is only 1 door left and the whole car will be down to metal so i can finish fixing the last hacks horrible body repair. some people should just be shot.ill try and post some pics when i get a chance of before and after.
