Well I got bored after finishing up the leaves in the front yard so I put in a few interior pieces just to make sure stuff fits after putting on the new quarters. Gotta make sure right??? LOL
Looks like everything fits really good

Ok. got the welding and grinding done on both door jams
Tomorrow some clean up work then I can start stripping the outside

My gole for after this 4 day weekend is to have it stripped and a coat of epoxy primer and maybe, just maybe off the rotisserie, but we will see how it goes.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaa Hooooooooooooooooo started stripping the outside  
Here is what I got done so far tonight
Started on the right side rocker

2 more pics for tonight, more to come tomorrow  

11-26-2008

The right side door jam is done

Beer break then on to the left side

Got most of the rocker done on the left side. Season finale of Sons of Anarchy comes on here at 10PM, and that I will not miss.  

Hopefully more to come tomorrow

11-27-2008

Got the left side door jam done  
Next I guess I'll start on the roof. The factory paint is pretty thick so I will try a stripper I have and see how it goes.

More to come latter

Turkey dinner was Greeeeeeeeat!!!. My wife outdid herself as usual  

Now back to sanding lol

Got about 1/3 of roof done.

I tried some stripper but it didn't do chit!!! I am sanding with 60 grit on the DA, just taking awhile. I'll be out of DA paper before I am done
I tried some 60 grit 7" I got on my polisher/sander and OMG scratchs were nasty. I do not understand how 60 grit on 7" disk can be so much coarser then 60 grit DA paper???

Well thats it for today ran out of DA paper, almost got the roof done though  

11-28-2008

Wheeeeew.................finally got the roof done  
The roof don't seem that big till ya start sanding it LOL

One step closer to getting some primer on this baby  

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Buddy  

We have color(well primer)

This my first time using a HVLP gun and it is GREAT!!!

Waiting for 30 mins for second batch.

Ok boys n girls here are some pics of the final outcome for tonight  

I am sooooooo happy, prolly won't be able to sleep tonight LOL

Next step will be getting her of the rotisserie and finishing the rear tail panel. Couldn't finish it with the rotisserie support in the way.

After that I am not sure yet. Either the subframe of closing off the right side of the front firewall? Maybe firewall would be easier before the subframe is in the way.

Now this is a beautyful sight...............................she is off the rotisserie and on jack stands
In the next day or so I can strip n finish the rear tail panel.

Check out the last pic, when moving the car on the rotiserie gotta remember about the garage door opener So................does that mean I got the first scratch done n outta the way? LOL
