    Glad to help, just keep in mind its going to take a long time and its going to be a ton of work. Walk away when you are feeling frustrated and don't be afraid to take breaks from the process to gather yourself together. 1 bolt, section or small project at a time add up!

    Smashing that gun was for medicinal purposes.. I felt way better after that

    On a more constructive note.. Paint is scheduled for June 1st. Which so happens to be my 3 year anniversary of joining this board.

    Justin,

    I just found this thread. Wow!!!!!!!!! I am impressed with all your hard work. The paint should come out better now that you have a decent spray gun.

    Well it sure beats the scratchy grey stuff that's on there now :D I have to give Shawn props for coming up with the name of the paint.



    Ill let you 2 hash out the details, but I'll do what I have to in order to take a ride in big red!


    Thanks Dave, its been an adventure for sure. And Yuengling just happens to be the official drink of this build! I hope to update Friday, that's when the jams will be getting done :beer:

    Hopefully just drool!


    Put the hood, decklid, doors, and fenders back on today and adjusted gaps. Bled the brakes and tested out my 2004R, having some major pressure issues so Ive decided to toss the TH350 back in so I can drive until I have enough cash to sort out my overdrive trans. I was having a good day till that happend. :spank: Paint in 6 days!

    Found some low spots on the fenders, had to bust out the fill and paint gun that I thought I put up for good. Blah.. On the plus side it feels pretty good to start putting things back together. Back to sanding..

    Busy busy day. Interior is all together with the exception of the door panels. Need them off to get the outside latch back together. 50 sq ft of fatmat was installed to help quite the ride. Time is about a quarter-past-I-need-a-beer. So I'm off too relax.
