Keep in mind the time spent reading the 765 pages is time you will never get back, so unless you're actually doing time you may wish to reconsider :wink: :rotfl: :rotfl:


Aint that the truth! :rolleyes:


Yes but look at all the "knowledge" you will gain, allot if which will be what NOT to do :splat: :rolleyes: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Dennis, sorry about the "new gig" I guess you should get some oil to go with the vinegar make a salad, then start looking for your next endeavor :flatten: :flatten: :allgood:

When someone says it can't be done....? They are usually interrupted by someone who is already doing it.!

Well I finally have a bit of an update, sprayed about 3/4 of the trunk today. I masked off the inside of the tail panel and one of the trunk sections to avoid leaning into the paint. It's just too tight spraying from inside the gas tank area and reaching over is a bit too awkard. I'll mask off what I've done and spray the last bit in the next couple days.

My camera must be getting old, picture quality isn't great and the color is WAY off no matter what setting I use. Anyway it looks pretty darn good, a very bloody red, much redder than the pics show :happy: :happy:

Thanks, the trunk was the last of the awkward areas to paint. It will be nice to just work on the outside panels finally.

Thanks guys, yup little by little it's getting done, that's my speed, slow but inching forward :wazzup:

Looking forward to your update Doug, those fenders must be a pain to work :knockout: :knockout: I keep meaning to ask, how's your back doing?

Sell all your projects Dennis? That's crazy talk, hope it's just the desert heat and beer getting to you :flatten: :flatten: I understand the motivation issues, that's why the Stang progress is what it is. Still I do enjoy the puttering about on it here and there, can't imagine not having one on the go.

I dunno Rob my get up and go got up and went I think.
I was out there last couple days its frustrating right now for me, Working on different personal projects currently.
Still thinking about thinning out the heard a little though, sick of all the junk and that's all it is till there done! All I see is dollar signs flying out the window for cars that wouldn't sell for what I would have in them.

Thinking Im just gonna finish up the 70 bird as planned and sell it off and keep the 71TA,72 Charger,57Chrysler get rid of every thing else just getting tired of all of it. Need to take a good long break I think. gonna go fishing, hunting, & prospecting for awhile.
