glad i could help get that car on all four feet

[hoogiesngrinderz]

Thanks guys. Tyler, you have money on the way. I added some extra for your time and buy your FedEx buddy a big mac

[TylerT/AZ28]

allrighty, i didnt need the extra but thank you anyways

[hoogiesngrinderz]

Just take the money and be grateful

I figure you took the time out of your day to help me out, so take that little bit of extra cash and treat yourself nice. Upgrade your next entree to the fillet? Maybe find a girl of questionable character on the wrong part of town?

[TylerT/AZ28]

lmfao, that made my day thanks for all the help with finding the right parts as well.

Found some more low spots in the old fender. A little push from the back made things flat again after a good sanding of the whole panel. If it gets warm enough tomorrow I might squirt some primer and color. Rear disc setup is turning out to be a major PITA....more parts on the way to check that project off the list.

Not many pictures, but a TON of work just to get the front fender presentable. Found a hairline crack in the edge of the wheelwell lip Also pulled the bump rails, messed shit up pretty good. Yes, I used a heat gun and went slow - still pulled paint off and left adhesive. More stuff to paint The last photo is where I had to build a new lip, doesn't look too shabby!

Bump rails are a no for me. Looks cleaner without them.

I thought a whole reprint was in the works? Damn all this paintwork going on makes me wanna get some shit done on my car.

The trick I learned from Joel was to soak the suckers in GooGone before trying to pull them -- worked like a charm on the Red Beast, left everything intact, with very little residue.

That wouldn't have worked. Somebody sprayed a layer of clear over the doors with the rails still on.

I love when body shops do that.

Car in primer yet?

[hoogiesngrinderz]

Didn't spray today, never got above 52° here.

First Sunday off in about a year (May 1st, 2011) so I spent it how the man above intended Slept in, big breakfast, long nap, and some homework.
