while MrWilly is out galavanting around I have been slaving away

getting the body ready for primer

(btw - when I say galavanting I mean he's on-call this week and got stuck at this restaurant down past Orlando in tourist central that had fire damage. He's stuck doing duct work. He ABHORS duct work!!

I know he's not a happy puppy today!

)
MrW..here's the proof that I did more then sit around hunting toitles all day

Well time to get some putty on it.

mr willy was here for a while, just starting to get some work done when his phone went off again!

He has to run down to the Convention Center for some :bull crap: He is not amused

Better get back and get more work done on it, hopefully we'll have primer on it tomorrow. If they'll leave him alone long enough!

It's OT but it's still a pain in the

Alright, back at it

wait'll you see tonights pics,

Mr Willy is getting ready to get primer on it!

I can't wait to see what it looks like all one solid color. Even if it is primer for now! $Beer Chug\'n$

Taz rite, We got the body work done and primed the body. We were only going to prime it, but decided while it was apart we would go ahead and get it painted to save from having to do it later. I am not looking for a show finish so we did the body work with a 8" disk grinder and finished with 80 grit on a DA sander. I first primed with a PPG's DP90 epoxy primer, this will give good adhision and rust protection. Then primed with PPG's K36 so we would have somthing to sand on without having to sand the epoxy primer. The test panel is the color we have decided on. It is a Krylon color so we can touch up with a spray can and not have to break out the paint guns.

I guess some people shouldn's breed. These

washed down the walls and the thermostat causing it to short out. So after spending an hour driving to tourist town I jumped out the thermostat and told them they would have to turn off the AC at the breaker.

I know terrorist season last all year, but when is tourist season anyway

Got my gear set to day and the paint. Hope to have the body tub painted early Sunday and start building the transmision / transfrecase.

I noticed the gear set doesn't have any numbers on it. I wounder how it will be registered with no numbers? Or don't they count ?

Lady Di · « **Reply #265 on:** Feb 24, 2005, 05:43:50 PM »

I hope y'all take notice that the gear set has been invited to dinner on our hardwood table

parts is parts!
and you might take notice I took the time to slave over a hot oven and order pizza for dinner!

mmmmm pizza
