So, for the past few days I have been hitting the panels hard, hoping to get them all completely stripped over the next week, and then hit them with 2k Primer. The plan is to get everything done including the tub and then just do some sort of marathon spray painting session. Not sure how that will work as I think I am going to run out of room. But at least all the stripping will be done.
Other things:
Pretty disappointed that I missed out on securing a good running 351 Cleveland locally. Guy had it listed two hours before I saw it and it was already sold by the time I saw it. He wanted 4 grand for it, but at least you could see it and hear it running, and it was just down the road. Bummer.
Phil, the mystery mechanic I was gonna get to rebuild my own engine has disappeared, so, have decided to take the engine to IAS for its rebuild.
Have ordered rear and window glass and the seat rails have arrived.
Bought my third tin of KBS rust seal for the floor, and after that is done, should be ready to fit up the seat rails and lay the sound deadening stuff.
I've had a good go at the rear cab corner and still more to do there. Decided to go ahead and buy the opposite side one.
Got a guy fabbing up some engine mounts with his plasma cutter and he plans to fit the engine up after the Easter break. By then the panels will be painted up and we should be well on the way toward getting the engine booked in for its rebuild.
