    You must have an ear to ear smile.  She looks great!  If you keep working on her every night the way you did last night she will be done in no time at all.  Keep up the good work and don't miss any pics!!!!!!  You sure have got me in the mood to go and do some stuff to my baby.    thumbs

    Nope... no lone soldier here... a couple of buddies are helping me, but I've put scrict rules on how fast they move in the garage and what they carry and wear around the car... gotta protect that paint ya know!!

    Mark... that's what happened to me alright... got the rear speakers secured in now, popped out the left handed rear wheel studs and bought some new ones at NAPA, but tomorrow I have to go exchange them for the right ones (stupid counter people)... :banghead: :banghead: Then I'll be cleaning up the chrome headlight moulding (encircles the actual headlight) and hopefully sandblasting the headlight buckets and painting them gloss black and mounting them in... so much to do still and I don't even know where to continue too!!! :driving: :driving: :driving: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

    I figured that.  About those counter people; not all of them are bad. :thumbs:  Well, you could've considered me bad by a Ricer's standpoint.  I used to laugh when they would come in looking for neon lights and body kits at a performance parts store. :dupe: :boxer: :spank:

    Then I'll be cleaning up the chrome headlight moulding (encircles the actual headlight)

    They're probably stainless like ours are.  They clean up real nice.

    You better get your rubber grommets or what ever they are to go over your wires to seal up those holes. you will thank yourself later for it.

    THE ABOVE CAN NOT BE STRESSED ENOUGH   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    The battery wires going though the bare metal holes are an invitation to your car burning to the ground.

    otherwise looks Darn Nice !! :thumbs:

    Thanks Robb!! Right now there's no juice running through anything... battery is sitting at 9 volts from just sitting around. Need to put it on a trickle charger and make sure she's full of water!! Just realized that I need to use my original clips to hold the junction block to the firewall... so once I get my sandblaster set back up tomorrow, it's go time there!! :grinyes: :grinyes: Little by little progress is made... but right now I'm kinda at a stand still until I can get back to blasting and cleaning parts!!
