Well, yesterday was my birthday...

I went to the junkyard yesterday, got a bunch of bolts and some other cool ****...

Then I spent most of the day in the garage...

Then I went out for some drinks... goodtime.

well i got my gauges mounted, or ready to mount, and started wiring them...


Now... I need to make a decision... about paint for my engine bay....

Flat, Satin, or Gloss.

LOL, At first I thought satin, but then I thought, I might as well go gloss, as my other gloss pieces turned out pretty good (enough)\... but then I thought, it might not be worth all the work, and extra cost... (I will be doing this my rattle cans)

I also, am already learning that keeping the painted pieces unscratched is gonna be difficult...

Stalled, I bought a wrangler for winter and that has turned into another little project. Its awesome though, Ive always wanted a jeep, just never thought I was a "jeep guy"

It needed shocks and tires, so rather than cheap replacements... Today, I got some 35" KM2s and a 2" BB, a little trimming and its awesome!!! I love it 10X more than I used to, im excited to take it up to Drummond Island this weekend.

havent touched the trans am in awhile. been doing a lot with the jeep... all my free time goes into wheeling or making it wheel better.

im not trying to rush getting the trans am back together, since its winter(though no snow)...

Im still waiting for my engine, (there will be a thread on that later, and peoples feelings WILL be hurt)

Once I have my engine, im sure things will move much quicker.
