My name is Earl, and I have a Stainless Steel bolt fetish =)

I just dropped my seat pieces off at the upholstery shop. The guy said he will get me a quote by mid afternoon tomorrow=)

I also called the body shop and my car should be getting started mid next week

[YoungCR]

Pending paint any posibility this could be drivin to the October meet? Besides final body assembly just gotta shove in the motor and interior right? Soinds simple but your list of to do's has gotta be dwindling by this point

[Earl]

All brakelines need to be ran and I have a bunch of wiring to do. Unfortunately I don't think it will be in driving shape by then

[YoungCR]

Ahh I figured. Look forward to hearing about the brake line work too.

 All and all the car has been good to me. Slowly but surely it'll get better and better. Though it is not my pride and joy, it works as a DD.

Guess this went down the toilet....

...but if I ever get money, this will be S54 powered. I promise.

The beginning of this thread is full of lies...

[REKIII]

I bet the car isn't even at the paint shop.  After this web of lies, what are we to believe?

[Earl]

It's there, still in their trailer, untouched since picked up from me

Earl, I feel like your goal the past few days was to have your post last on every topic that is displayed at the index screen. You have won. But I shall win shortly.

[Earl]

It has been a goal. Trying to get my post count up Rainman style =P Someone sabotaged my count last night though...

[GunMetalGrey]

Dang it earl, stop posting for a few minutes! You are making me work harder!

[Earl]

Currently awaiting a material sample to arrive at the upholstery shop to see if they can repair the bolster wear on my drivers seat pieces. That should be in today or tomorrow. 

Other than that my lightened m20 flywheel showed up Saturday and should be going off to the machine shop shortly. I will be having it blasted, resurfaced, and swapping out the starter ring=) 

Not bad for $25=D

Going to visit this turd after work

[Earl]

Stopped by after work to go over what all needs to be shaved and what I am looking for in the bay so they can get it just like I envision it. I also dropped off the other pair of rollers so that they can get me the Breytons back once they do the rear quarter work. 

It was awesome seeing the car up on a lift=) The doors are all smoothed out and ready for paint. I couldn't believe they were mine since they were so smooth. My drivers side wasn't bad at all but the passenger side had a series of ripples by the bodyline behind the mirror. 

I also peeked at a few of the other cars they are working on and the quality of their work is excellent. I am so happy I went with them for the work.

They will be starting the bay next week so I will hopefully be throwing in some pictures as this progresses.

Sweet deal Earl! I bet you can't wait. Exciting times

[Earl]

I am very overjoyed=)

[ClassE]

I'm hoping it's a timely and pain-free paint experience for you.

[Earl]

I got some teasers this weekend=) 

I am beyond excited right now. 

I was told that the rockers are also repaired and shaved, the hood is shaved and rear for paint, and the welding work is done in the bay. Should have another good update in a few days

[Bassboy3313]

That is looking super smooth!
