OK, I've got the last of my parts tracked down and I'm making plans to have a meet to finally fix this thing. I am going to spend as much time as I can over the next couple weeks to finish all the other odds/ends that I have going on. I got the other headlight, and Royce is going to be painting them for me and doing the angel eyes because my oven isn't big enough for them. As soon as I get a spring compressor, i can take a couple hours and install the suspension. The big thing is the wiring, which is just a time-consuming deal.
Tomorrow I will put in for a couple days off, and I'm planning on splitting this up over a couple weekends.
Saturday April 14th:
Remove engine/transmission
Straighten out the radiator support
start painting engine bay flat black
Over the next week, just work on the engine bay and prepping everything to go back in.
Saturday April 21st:
Put everything back together and reinstall the engine/transmission, hopefully early enough to be able to take it for a nice test drive.
I can provide all drinks and we'll work on food (get pizza delivered or something. Maybe the night of the 21st, if everything is successful, maybe I'll buy dinner or something.)
Mapquest to my house!
