To quote WayFast84, it IS a great day! Even for a Monday. The Trans Am was finally towed home so that I can begin work on it! Woo-hoo!
For those that don't get it, I got the car in February of 2006. On the coldest friggin' day of the winter, I towed it to where I was living in Piscataway. Then I bought a house in November way up in Wantage. The car has sat in my uncle's yard, untouched and unloved as I left it (Fenders, hood, front end off and engine and trans out). I finally managed to get a buddy with a trailer to tow it up to the new house! Tonight, it goes in the garage for complete disassembly. I plan on spending the winter completely tearing the beast down, sandblasting and refinishing parts as I go along, culminating in primer before the spring. What better way to hide from the snow than to lock myself in the heated garage with a whole bunch of solvents? I've missed the conversations I used to have with the technicolor animals that I'd see when using too much of the ol' PB Blaster in the closed garage!
Right off the bat, I've got a new set of floorpans to put in. I'll post up with pics as I go along if anyone's interested. Ought to be fun reading as I'm not the best with a wrench.
