Progress!! First off I would like to thank Jimbob and Steve Walker for showing and hellping today!
I started off about 10am this morning saying I would just finish up fixing my steering column. Dealer messed it up back in 99 While fixing a short(FIRE BAD!) in it. Come to find out they put a bearing support in backwards so it always felt loose. While I was at it I installed the new steering wheel. None of which was nearly as easy as I thought it would be
SO After 4-5 hours of that I went to working on customer stuff. Wasted way to much time on it have to make it up!
While I was doing that Jimmy installed my new MADAMN C-Moly Panhard bar
He gets the one coming off for his car
THe pan hard goes with the rest of the MADMAN Suspenion kit going on the car some day
The Steve comes by and does some work on his Engine and gets a few more lessons in Engine Assembly
Around 8pm jimmy and I run into town and grabb dinner...along with a BUNCH of sand paper and five cans of "low Gloss" paint.
We hit dinner and then we all start sanding that god awful POR15 CRAP someone talked me into using! For those thinking about using it I have one question. Do you care how it looks? IF you do DON'T use it!
I have no Idea how long we sanded before we started to paint but it was a LONG time! Then I layed out a plan of attack to paint and crawled inside and started.
First the front windshield area.
Then into the back seat well and hit the back side of the hoop and bars.
Then the front side of the hoop and bars.
Then the rear 4 points and bars inside.
Then the rear bars from the hatch area.
Then touch up on wind shield area and top bars.
Then the driver side bars.
Then all the top bars inside and out.
Then the inside of the Passenger side bars.
Then the out side of the Passenger side bars.
Then touch up every where.
Here are some pics!
I could not have done any of this with out the help of Jimbob and Steve.
Thanks Guys!

I am hoping to get it going for a few runs before the end of the season. It would be nice to get a legal 9 second run
I think Mark is hidding

I am willing help out Ellis. I will bet $20 he can take out all comers on the 15th. His car is closer then anyone thinks it is. We also have a very special tuneup he is going to use
So come on out Ryan.....
BTW: Nitrous Rules!
