Demo is my specialty 
It took me a good 10 minutes to wrap my head around the idea that the shift coupler was under a plate on the bottom of the car. |
Ill be right over, soon as I get through most of Texas, NM,AZ and that shitty LA traffic  |
Dude, meet me half way in PHX this weekend! I will pay for your entrance to the show and you can help me search for the parts I need. |

C'MON Tony. You know I have surgeons hands
I can't sit and "admire" anything. I learn as I go and those who are gracious enough to take the time to teach me are much appreciated. That being said, you need a helper? Juuuussssst kiddin' I will never master the art of bodywork. I would be a hack with a paint gun in my hand. |

So far:
I replaced all trans mounts, soft brake lines, shocks, throw out bearing, nose cone seal.
Still need to change the axle boots and clean up axle tubes. Also need to tighten everything up.

Yes its rustoleum primer with clear coat. Closest I could find when in a can when I did it.

Today's progress wasn't very picture-worthy but I did get some things done.
Painted the engine bay. I also drained and refilled the transmission.
I also painted the shocks. That blue was killing me.
I decided to check out the fuel line from the tank......not good. I used an old throttle cable on the end of a drill to break through some of the build up. I got about halfway through. I keep pumping acetone in the line to eat the varnish.
After work tomorrow, I plan on bolting the shocks on and that should complete the rear end until the brake shoes are done and the cylinders arrive.
I pressure washed the front beam but I might pull the beam and see what can of worms that opens up |
