Dave, it is in your best interest to document the agreements you make with your brother.

I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.

This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.

Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.

I have the utmost confidence in this mission... Dave.

You still need a mustache.

I know the problem, and I will fix it. He will be handing the title over to me. I can be a little less than codial if needed.

I will get it in writing though.

Trust me, he has placed himself into a new less safe catagory in my mind. I can make things difficult for him.

Little stuff, I cleaned the headlamp mounting panel.

I worked on my side marker lamps today. If you remember, they were a tired yellowish looking lump of plastic.

I cleaned them up first and sprayed one quick coat of orange on the inside of the lense and clearcoated it. Then I flipped them and clearcoated the top. They came out really nice.

I had to order the correct rivets to put the front bumper back together today. Hopefully I'll have them tomorrow and reattach the header back to the bumper.

The bolts of the inner lower bumper bracket that bolts to the lower trim on the fender were broke off from disassembly due to rust. Well, the bottom was broken off, the top one was just too rusty.

I cut off the old bolt pieces and will weld these new ones on.
I'll do the same thing to the bracket from the other side just so I can have nice clean bolts.

I reassembled them this morning and hooked my jumper box to the light and TAH! DAH!

Hey @Boosted92LX

Shiny
I'll get a sun picture tomorrow morning.

I am particularly happy with the hatch. After cutting out the rot and straightening the waves that were above the spoiler. Then Stripping all of that nasty blue, silver, and whatever else paint off of it. Certain things are special in this build. This stupid hatch is one of them. I can't wait to see it tomorrow morning in the sun!

Eh, here and there. Life's been crazy. I've touched nothing car related in weeks, and have done very little interwebz. I won't muck up Dave's thread with all the details.

If you don't Allen, someone else will, so go ahead my friend, let's hear it.
