All that's left to do is add water and bubble bath. :nice:
I hadn't looked at it that way noobz, but, a little plastic sheeting, hose running from the hot water heater, kids fetching fresh beers (as they were meant to do)......hummm....

Body shop wackos don't grant wishes, body shop fairys do.

Remember, I still go to bed with a little baggie of bondo dust under my pillow waiting for the day that the body shop fairy will come and grant my wish.

Oh please BSF, make my wish come true,.. I've been a very good boy.

All I want is for the car's body work to be finished, and the car painted,....That isn't asking for much...
You know Mike, I love Birmingham, if I could make a run without the wife flipping crazy on me, I would.
Truthfully, I would help, but fck, long drive. Maybe when I'm done with doby if you still need help. Give doby a chance to stretch her new legs.
 
Mike, shouldn't you be learning about a BMW's ability to teleport people from Earth to Mars or something?

Dave, I cant wait to see your ride in paint. You are moving right along with it!
Two weeks from now, roughly by this time, the engine bay will be red. I will paint the car the following Saturday morning. I'm getting pretty geeked to see it look like the other panels I've already painted.
I'm very glad I decided to repaint.

I think @Boosted92LX might prefer a turbo tub.


This with those is that
We'd need a turbine engine to drive it fast enough to get any bubbles outta the damned thing. :p



Edit: No idea what that was about. Didn't even make sense to me.

Alright. Who's up working on cars?

I finally have a day I'm not at work, doing a 12 hour shift... And I'm awake. At 6:00 am.
I'm working on a Nissan Maxima right now, but I'm at work already.
Tomorrow morning though, Doby gets her tubs cleaned.
Funny how this tub thing keeps being brought up, God is telling me to mini-tub, I tell you.....

I am,.....for another hour. Then off to work. being a Genius.
Why do you get all of the cool emoji's?
I'm going to start grinding out the undercoating in the tubs today Mike. Woohoo!:banana:

I was thinking of blocking out some of the primer in the engine bay too.

I get to bring Doby to the shop the Thursday after next. That night I'll shoot the engine bay and the cowl panel area. I will go in on Saturday morning after that to shoot the car. I'm so geeked out right now!

Like your new job @madmike1157 ?

Jeez, sleepy heads!

Well, I'm off to put work clothes on and get after Doby.

Today, probably first will involve put her back up on jack stands in the rear and taking off the wheels. Then hooping into the engine bay to begin blocking out the primer.

Once it's late enough to make noise, I'll start grinding off the undercoating in the rear tub area. I'll probably pull off a couple things too, quad shocks frame mounts come to mind...
