Parade is the end of June -- love to have it done earlier - but that is the goal ... |

finish the chassis before winter (hopefully by next week to send it to the body shop to have it stripped and painted on the underside and engine bay) and install the wiring harness!

Winter, oh, you mean when the temp drops below 50F?
Our 'winters' are the summer months where the heat index is above 100 and afternoon showers. Not that a little heat and some rain would stop me from working on the car, especially since it's on jack stands. BTW, what is snow and why do you need to heat your garage/shop? Winter project: 1. Get rebuild motor from Joe (you DA MAN). 2. Remove the sound deadening in the passenger compartment. 3. Rebuild pedal cluster. 4. Repair rust in rear trunk. 5. Repaint engine compartment, passenger compartment, rear trunk. 6. Reinstall interior, including new carpet and seats. 7. Install engine/trans, adjust gas and clutch cables. Adjust trans linkage. 8. Install new brake pads and MC, then adjust brakes. 9. Install PORed gas tank and new fuel lines. 10. DRIVE THE CAR for the first time in 2 years. |

Guys - If either one of you would have came to the MUSR, you would have actually experienced some pleasant, fall weather..... 50F in the evenings... 65F tops during the day............... Sorry we missed you! LOL -Thom |
