a few shots of the car as promised





we got a few more things done after i remembered to take the pictures. brake lines are partially run, front axle is together, discovered that the new hubs need a different brake caliper bracket than the old ones, put the spare front axle together, layed in the top portion of the throttle linkage, made a list of need parts(this is a daily thing), andtalked about the slug that was welded wlightly off on the chassis so the car has to go back to the shop to have a little grinding done.
we also figured out that the powder coating job that looked really good in the dark when we picked the car up is really ******. coating is flaking off all over it and there are bunches of little bubbles and spots you can tell there was dirt sitting on the surface when it was coated. it was paid for by a sponsor, so not the worst thing in the world, just some bad surface prep.

overall a lot got done in the last 2 nights. having the car 5minutes from my house, and in the garage attached to randy's house, is a huge improvement over teh 25-35 minute drive to the shop he used last year.
