The Dirty Bastard has been my go to beer......it allows my custom side to come out when i'm welding, lol.

The garage is cleaned, I used some TSP to scrub the floor down. It's somewhat organized. I'm tired.

So, tomorrow at lunch, maybe after work Booger will be filling my garage! Woohoo!

Were it me, I would forgo the scoop unless I needed it to clear that 408.

DITTO ! Digging the green though .

Why did you clean the garage floor just to cover it in dirt and rust, lol? Must have had some nice weather today, eh?

It was hot today Nick. It just needed cleaning and organizing is all.

Plus as I work on Booger I’ll blow the dirt off the floor each night when I’m done. Starting with a clean surface makes it easier to maintain.

Thanks Jeff, the scoop is staying though.

At least we all know, scoop or no scoop, you’ll make it look amazing.

 

[Davedacarpainter]

There’s a big Booger in my garage!

 

[BlakeusMaximus]

Nice Dave

 

[95BlueStallion]

Get to work!!!

 

[Davedacarpainter]

I’ll start disassembling it tonight and cleaning the engine bay.

That car actually looks really small sitting in that garage.

I can't wait to see what you do with this car. You probably already know this tip, but sandwich bags are your friend during this process to bag and tag where all the nuts and bolts go too. This helped me out tremendously on my 85 T-Top I built a few years back

It really is small, especially compared to the newer cars I work on every day.

It's what I noticed as soon as I got next to a challenger. The fox platform across the board are little cars.
That's why they make good drag cars.

I'm glad you finally have the thing home.

I'm also glad it's you getting ready to go through all of the hell that building one entails instead of me.

But you're up to it. Now get to work.

 

[90sickfox]

Yeah.... get to work, Dave !!! No time for lolly gaggin' !!! Get'er done !!!

 

[Davedacarpainter]

Look......it’s a turbo charged fox
