Dan, twenty-five years ago, I'd have painted it myself, but no more. Bodywork, primering and blocking are all I can handle these days. I've done many a paint job in the garage and/or driveway, but sanding the dust nibs and buffing it out is too big of a job for me now. I'll deliver the parts and pieces to Precision Collision in Gladstone in primer and ready for them to do final blocking. They'll paint and buff everthing out, then I'll reassemble it here. i still have major work on the doors and a lot of nitpicky things here and there, but it should be in the paint shop by the first of the year.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Woo Hoo! Nice job Vic!!! great progress! my rotating assembly is at the machine shop getting balanced, getting the stroker clearancing done, bore/hone, the works, should have it back Wednesday. I'll be glad to get that portion done. My Brother in law had a medical situation that couldn't be avoided, so I'll have to make a road trip to Sioux City, Iowa to pick up my
700 R4 trans, I would have made some progress this holiday weekend, but my son seen it fit to blow up the engine in his car, so I've been stuck underneath his Grand Prix, changing the engine out....it sounded like all six rods were trying to exit the block.... I found a used 3.8L V6 in St.Joe for $150.00 (couldn't beat that deal anywhere) it has 140K miles on it, the guy I bought it from said the only reason he was selling so cheap was because he had removed a coil pack and sold the computer prior to my purchasing the block. He bought the car (2004 Grand Prix) for the transmission, the car had a minor front end collision.....so, because I couldn't start it, hence the cheap price..... (I pulled the pan just to make sure everything was sound) had to change the upper plenum of the intake, (the '04 had a drive by wire Throttle Body and the original TB was drive by cable) other than that, everything fit like a glove. I still have two or three hours of work left to do, but mostly exhaust, coolant hoses, spark plug wires,etc.... my uncle was kind enough to allow me the use of his shop and lift to do all the work. Guess I'll be buying him a great Christmas gift this year! Now, if only my work (and my Son) will refrain from occupying all my spare time, perhaps I can get my truck put back together! Sorry this was so long! Have a great Day! Ben |

Stopped by Precision Collision on Monday and discussed a plan for paint. They said they're slowing down with deer season about over. No snow or ice yet to refill the place, so I'm hoping to get everything to them no later than the end of the year. Still have a few minor places to tune up yet.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Mavic... I can't wait until I am this close to seeing the end of the tunnel... I am in reality probably only about 30-35% of the way there...

Did get the doors hung and the driver side gaps look pretty close. I'll need to massage the passenger side some. To get the door gaps to fit better on that side, I had to put 1/8" spacers between both hinge plates and the front jamb. So now I have a bit too much gap in the front, but I can manage it. The cowl will also need some work on that side as well, but I believe I can kill two birds with one stone since all the crappy gappy is in the same general vicinity.
