Got the front right pan knocked out today! Got all the seam sealer on that side out. After scraping, that 3M stuff sure cleans it up nice! Gave it the POR15 treatment but before it was all dry, gave it a little ecthing primer. My buddy who's done a few rotissery jobs recomended doing it that way, so the new sealer will stick good.  Gonna be using NAPA 4201 sealer(not cheap), also his recomendation.  Started on the left, but between my neck and back... done for today. Lately the neck been much worse, I just gotta win the lottery so I can hire somebody for this stuff!

Also found one of my door swits are kinda chewed up. I figure bewteen my dart and 2 chargers I gotta have one at the yard somewhere.

So I go out to do more scratchin' on the left side. I'm gonna do all new seam sealer, so as I go I'm removing the old sealer. Everything pretty easy so far. So I get to the seam that goes horozontal behind the pedals...  :swear:  I dont know what this s#it was, but it was not the OEM stuff thats everywhere else on my car. Even with a mapp torch it took over 2 hours to get this crap out.  What is this crap..? BEWARE

Got back home around noon today, so more time in the garage. Curious to see if any parts I ordered came in on friday. I repainted the glove box door. Fixed the seat button and got the drivers floor pan done and the seam etched...  :bigsmile:

I have been scratchin' my a$$ off!. I have a new found respect for all the bodymen I know and the ones on this site!  :grinyes: My flloor wasn't that bad to begin with, but one thing leads to the next. By tomorrow all the scratchin' will be done!! The final por-15 (sorry I'm not painting this part) and etching primer.  :clapping: Yes I'm doing new seam sealer too.

Here's my RANT paragraph!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :swear: Springtime here was absolute crap! So I'm at minimum 6 weeks behind on this project!  :banghead: I'm still on the "storage " tank of gas from last winter belive it or not.  :22yikes: I have not been to a cruise night or car show w NIKKI yet this year!  :stomp: Bevedere is this weekend... not gonna make it. Mopars at the strip is next Sunday, we had such a great time last year me and the wife are going if I have to put my lazyboy in her to get her there.  :grinyes:
Ahh thank you, I feel better now.

I also got a big box of goodies from mopardave yesterday.  :woohoo:

So between that and the new Schu mounts, let the assembly begin!!  :working:  :bigsmile:
