Mikelly Posted November 30, 2001 Share Posted November 30, 2001 Well My side isn't KILLING me like it was earlier in the week. The plan is to start working this weekend on MY CAR!!!! I have one set of front control arms to re-do and a pair of TC Rods to finish up for Craig C. before they head off to the powder coating shop and then its time to finish up all my sheet metal!!!! I'll be so so happy to actually get my floor pans in and have the trunk section completely finished up. Once I get the POR 15 and under car paint complete I'll be able to seriously look at my cam/ header options, and possibly a twin turbo setup...Who knows...I'm just gonna be happy to get started on my own car again!!!!

Guest Frank Rich Posted November 30, 2001 Share Posted November 30, 2001 Yeah, its kinda funny how everything else seems to come first! I'm not seriously bitchin' - I have become addicted to eating, having a nice place to live, being able to provide for those I love, etc., so my business really does come before my toys - but man, when the car is just sitting there, looking pitiful, with pieces strewn over the workbench and the floor - its hard not to develop a case of "Z-itis" and tell my guys "...(fake cough - ahuh, ahuh, drop voice one octave and sound near death)Sorry, guys, I'm reddy feelin bahd thid mornin - need some behd resd - I'll be id Mondah, doan cahl me" The only problem is, they all KNOW that the car is sitting there in pieces looking pitiful, and (especially my business partner Ron, who is also a gearhead with "projects" littering his garage)they just don't buy it! Its pretty embarassing to have your office manager turn up unexpectedly at your house with checks for you to sign, and catch you in the garage under your car when you're supposed to be in bed at Death's door. The worst part is, she checks the garage first, before she even rings the front doorbell! I'd fire her for being too smart if she wasn't too smart to do without! Oh well, there's always the weekend...which is another story - anyone else growing a massive crop of "honey-do's"? You know - Honey, do this, Honey do that...

Mikelly Posted December 3, 2001 Author Share Posted December 3, 2001 ...Notice the time on this post...CAN'T SLEEP!!!!! I got to work on the car some this weekend and all I'm thinking about now is what to do next... Man I got the stub axles re-installed in the car, and mounted the front sway bar, mounted the front calipers and got the garage spotless after welding up Craig B's Control arms...Got to get them to Richmond next weekend. Anyway, I'm working on Sheet metel and sealing the underside all this week. Then I'll move up to the front radiator mount area and additional bracing. Also plan to reset my steering rack and linkage! I'm actually making progress! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
