Blocking,Started out the day with a pile of Stuff..........




As the day progressed we got to the first joint on each side and I had to stop.....Got the hard part done and the rest should go pretty fast...










When I get in tomorrow, everything should be TIG welded and I can continue on......Also, I got a call from the Body shop to come and pick-up all the painted sheetmetal, they don't want to be responsible now that it's done......Darn,my free storage is gone........Good Problem to have.......I'll tell you what Pulera Collision Center in Kenosha did all the work including Patching areas that I felt were O.K. (Not to their standards), Fitting, Prepping,Blocking Painting, Wet Sanding and Buffing in 9 weeks........I'm heard all the Horror stories about Paint Jails and I just want to say it's a pleasure to deal with Randy and the Crew at Pulera's......

Well...........I've been warned about using the welder for anything more than tacking things together......so....when someone that knows what they are doing welds, this is what it looks like.....LOL.......











Not much, but it's a start......I also just found out that I may have to add two more O2 sensors.....Man....this high tech stuff is hard......waiting to hear from John at Speartech ..........Upstream, Downstream....Getting an Education...........LOL










Didn't have too much time for the car today as I had to go to Puleras and get some of my finished "Stuff" out..........Doors and Trunk Lid Wet Sanded and Buffed.................Look at the reflection....Straight







Body being Wetsanded and Buffed..........
