This is the absolute best I can do for you short of being there.I know Mike, it's actually pretty fun for me to listen to the ideas.
BTW, I really dig the second set of gauges on the red car.
I'm 53 now and not swayed by silly things that come along (at least not as much as I used to be!). Most of these ideas that are presented to me that I didn't have in my plans that I'm doing now are things I would have liked to do anyhow. I either didn't feel I had the capability or finances to complete those sub projects in a timely manner.
So I'm not whining.
Using Pink Floyd against me is a very effective tactic. Dark side of the moon was my personal rock and roll awakening. I was only ten when it came out, but how could a person listen to David Gilmour plays his guitar and not just stop to listen. I saw them in concert some 23-24 years ago. Best concert I ever attended.
Anywho....Thanks for the help man. If I can be of help to you on your paint job, let me know. I wish I could come out there to help. I used to have some very close friends in Hueytown. I spent news years eve there back in '87 doing very foolish things.
Ahhh........ The entire rest of that car that those tires are attached to,....wouldn't that be better?Ahhhh.....335's, wouldn't it be nice
Jeez, Mike! Wait till you hear the rest of the story of this car.Ahhh........ The entire rest of that car that those tires are attached to,....wouldn't that be better?
Viper hoods are a pain in the ass, I will need to block that entire monster hood before I can even think of painting it (main reason I hate vipers). From the factory they are lumpier than my mother-in-law's thighs.
I remember reading somewhere around the forum that someone else worked in a body shop. Is it you Joe?I'll be laughing for the next week thinking about this. Thanks Dave.

Thanks brother, got to finish the engine bay smoothing. Then I will start blocking out the body for its last (hopefully) paint job. Maybe three weeks away from paint. I started that other thread to research the mini tub idea. it's looking like I might do it, still no guarantees. But, DAMN, 305's would look nice on Doby.
So you know body shop language then. Sometimes I may say things on posts that people may not understand, it's just normal talk to me.I got my associates in auto collision repair in 1990. I worked in various body shops in Des Moines, IA and Dallas,TX until 1994.
I went back to school for architectural graphics and have been working for a metal building company since 1997.
The last thing I painted was the back of my car black and my pony wheels black in 2000 when my friend had a shop.
Yeah, it got to 115 a couple days that year and once the next year, it's a little tough to get paint to lay out at that temperature. The temp in my paint booth was 125. I was getting up at one in the morning to go to work just so I could get a few shot before it got too hot.I have been following the mini tub thread as well.
Back in 2011 I bought an '86 t-top while my '93 was in storage at my dad's in Colorado. I think that year was when it was 114 degrees in the summer time. With no ac it was a hot car to drive. I found some hidden front end damage and ended up selling it to purchase the other car in my signature.
I do still miss having that car though which is why I appreciate your build.

Positive side, I lost about ten pounds of baby fat and still didn't drip any sweat on any paint jobs!
I won't have air this coming summer, hope it's not a burner like it was then. Air conditioning will have to wait till I can afford it next wintertime. Maybe having the t-tops will help cool me off?
Yeah, no kidding! When I was a kid back in my twenties I could sleep till noon!A/c is a must have. My son will learn that this summer. Haha.
Why are these old goats up so early???
Here I am, up early. Downing a Mountain Dew code red.
I know it's probably just me and @Boosted92LX that are awake.
Got to get out in the garage to weld up the left panel in the engine bay before the wife wakes up.

No, it's a "I really wish I had the money" have. LolA/c is a must have. My son will learn that this summer. Haha.

We got old! Oddly, I can take a nap in the afternoon now. It's like I've become a cat that takes lots of little naps, but no big long sleep.I was good to at least nine. Not sure what happened.
