Slow Progress is better than No Progress.

Thank you to Kev2809 and HO455 for the joint effort in finding the thread detailing the hatch repair…although now I’m quite frightened regarding the amount of skilled labor involved! I have no skill in fabrication and must now put out the feelers to find someone that I can trust (and afford???). Thanks again, guys!

PS…and many thanks to KFF 1 for documenting the tedious process he endured so that others could benefit!

During the last three months, I have been jumping from one project to another (and then another)…and we all know that isn’t an efficient way to get things done! To sum things up, I’ve made no progress with the EFI system because I shifted into the rear hatch issues. On top of that, my woodworking buddy Bob (who is in the process of “sort of” retiring) finished enough of his contracted work to jump on-board with my “Woody-Style” headliner project. With his tremendous amount of knowledge, we have made a lot of progress (but are still a ways from completion). I am committed to finishing the headliner before switching back to the other issues…except for finding a metal worker for the hatch. I have received a lead in the right direction for that…but a friend has to present it to him at the right time so as to not scare him away! In the meanwhile, please except a few pictures of the “in-progress” woodwork!
