I get lonely, trust me. Some things require 2 sets of hands

Glad to hear you got some work done today. I did not clean the shop as usual, nor get to work on the car, but I did manage to repair the four post lift, which has been waiting forever and a day..... I had to tear the canopy off the tractor and fold the ROPS to get it underneath. Not an easy, nor one man job, but it is done.....totally soaked in sweat once i got that wrapped up and the tractor back together. Maybe next week for me ( as usual).

Yep, the humidity was brutal in my area! I wanted to work outside but just couldn't.

I ported heads til I couldn't stand the heat anymore. I took daughter out for dinner came home and it had cooled off, put in 2 hours more on the heads. Was up til3 am last night and up at 7:30 this morning, I'm beat.
Mark, what's shakin bacon? Let's see some update pics.

had hands on the car upwards of ten hours today, no wasted motion...... soaked 4 shirts........ pretty sure I'm useless tomorrow

racked and tacked the passenger door....... dialed in the alignment...... did a little nip and tuck around the edges

also fixed a bunch of small dents on the hood for at least the 4th time.......maybe 5

I took a huge bite out of it, it was a good day

I am geared up to see some GG1 single stage on that thing!

check out the fender........

I wiped 12 years of grit off it with wax and grease remover on a paper towel....... the single stage is awesome

As long as they used hardner, if it was a repaint. I've found a couple that didn't!

It's definitely dark outside. I get too many bugs in the shop this time of year if I have the door open. Great progress

it's the original, it's perfect...... underneath the 12 years of dirt

I call it a bumper filler, others may refer to it as a grille support; a valence would be under the bumper

Don't try to sidestep the inspector's gripes by pointing out my ineptitude with naming car body parts!
