Getting closer

Well, we are getting closer. I have temporarily put the dash in place to see what works and what doesn't. I have gotten most of the lights working and most of the electrical working. I still do not have windshield wipers, or any of the climate controls, but I think I have a lead on the situation and should be moving forward. I will try to get a picture of the dash in the car. It is really beginning to look like a car again.

Sealed and primed

I wanted to go with "primered" because it sounds cooler, but I'm not actually sure it is even a word. So, primed it is. Anyway, the vehicle is primed. Based on time constraints and such, I will probably drive it around in primer for a while. When in Kentucky...... Before I sink anymore cash into this project, I want to make sure it is going to stand up to my driving habits. Those of you that grew up with me know exactly what I am talking about. Clear the roadways for a little bit!!

Redneck Paint Booth

Well, I had a place to prep, paint and finish the car, but a friend bailed on me and changed his mind about letting use the booth. I completely understand him being a little uneasy about us using the equipment, but it would have been nice to know this a little earlier. Instead, the day before we were to begin to seal and primer the car, I found out my arrangements fell through. So, I had to go redneck style. Thanks to Josh for the loaner of a tarp, saving me a couple greenbacks. If "redneck"worked like the force, some short, fat little green guy in Texas would have been sitting on his porch, looking at two camaros on blocks in his front yard, saying "I feel a strong disturbance in the force originating from somewhere outside of Louisville, Ky. It may be the strongest presence I have felt coming from one individual in some time. The prophecy has been fulfilled."

Nobody builds a redneck paint booth like we do in Kentucky.
