Very productive day...It's starting to look like a truck again.

Finished painting a lot of small parts and panels yesterday. Today started bolting everything up. Man there is alot of bolts. It hasn't been that long (December) since I unbolted the mess. Boy do we forget things. It was a bit slow trying to remember everything, plus some panels were new so they had to be coaxed a little. Not bad though.

Thanks Tim Christian...good supplier whoever you get your body panels from. looks like they will line up real good when it is all snugged down.

Maybe I'll be able to

in a few weeks when I get the wiring and all hooked back up.

Gotta take the 96 to Pigeon Forge this year...Oh welll maybe next year.

C U folks next week. Here's where I am now and I am gonna stop rambling now.

Blue Beard · 04-27-2003, 08:49 AM

What color will she be when complete?

**Palf70Step** · 04-27-2003, 01:05 PM

At this moment I am planning on a pure or pearl white

I gotta say I am in the same boat as you Palf, except mine has been apart for almost two years and I bought it as just body and running gear. But it is going to the exhaust shop on Thursday then I can break in the cam and finishing putting on the front clip. Putting it together is much more satisfying then taking it apart. And cleaner to!
