    Monday update

    Got to work on the sedan this Sunday for a few hours, so here is what got done.
    Sub-Frame connectors are in. Nice units.
    Cut out passenger front rocker and replaced with good metal. Took a lot of fitment time but came out pretty good. I put the door in place with bungee cords just to see how it looked. Now I need to do the same on the driver side and it will be off to the floor pans. Speaking of floor pans, I spoke with my metal spraying buddy and he said we will spray the whole floor top and bottom when I am ready. He said we will use a zinc- alluminum mix and it will fill all the small holes and rust proof the cars floors. I will take lots of pictures of that.
    Anyway enjoy the new pics and as always comments good or bad are always welcome. Later Steve.

    Thanks. I just don't know if it is no fear, or too dumb to know any better. But like they say, you don't know until you try. Besides Roger said he would come and fix anything I mess up.

    Did I say that? I must have been hallucinating.

    Steve, just let me know when to come. I'm good at applying Bondo. Or I could just bring my texture hopper and then paint it with latex paint. That's what you do, isn't it?

    Actually I think it's more a case of ignorance is bliss. I would be afraid. Very afraid.

    I usually just find a big shovel and a large trowel and go for it.
    Problem is finding a large enough bucket "O" bondo to last.

    Finally got to work on the delivery this weekend. Did not get a lot done but it was a time consuming job. I finally got the drivers floor pan in, it took a lot of fitment but I think it went in well. Next week, the passenger side.
