Well guys...my wife and I got into town yesterday at around 2pm and we were shot. After a family weekend with my brothers, their wives, their kids, mom and dad...you get the picture. It was a great weekend with the family but dang we barely made it in town without falling asleep. I was so tired I couldn't work on the car. I did get the windows cleaned up. Here is the before and after. 

Here are the wing windows before and after:

I will be removing the windshiled wipers and taking off the rest of the paint this week! You guys have a great Monday!

Hey kids,

I didn't make a lot of time on the car this past weekend due to the beautiful weather and the fact I was getting burnt out by Friday night. I spent Saturday on the yard and pulled weeds for 6 hours. I went back in the garage and applied more paint stripper. I kept looking between the front of the doors and the fender and seeing.....GOLD! Not that kind of gold. The crappy kind that needs to come off the car. Only one thing to do, pull the doors off. I was surprised to see the bottoms of the doors were primered but not painted all the way. I will however paint the bottom of the doors. 

Here's some of the gold I couldn't get to:

It was driving me nuts!

I know it's dumb but when the gold is removed, I'm going to freak out. It has taken me days to get this stuff off. ADVICE! If your car is solid...DIP IT!!!!!! You will live a full life without inhaling all the crap I've taken off the car. Also, look at the floor and cabinets in my garage. This was clean when I started. That haze is actually dust! You guys have a great Monday. Joe Fernald~Team Extreme
