Body man is messing with me. Trying to get my hopes up. Bumper filler done and painted. Rear extensions are almost done too. All the body work is done on the fenders and they are in first coat of primer. He had me bring the doors today. Hood and deck lid go week after next. Body two weeks later. He’s thinking done by November πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ€‘πŸ€‘πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜·πŸ˜·

Seats are officially at the Upolstry shop. Let’s see what kind of catastrophe this brings. My head is really starting to hurt. Lol. I currently have only one thing on this car that I can work on. The grill. Everything else is done or in someone else’s hands.Β

Perfect situation to do the grill Dennis!!!Β  Β If you cant do anything else, take your time and take some breaks in that tedious job.Β  Β  Β Yes Christmas is on its way, but like me you can still start her and sit in her without driving her. Not as much fun but better that nothing!!!Β  Β Also there has been many a time i would just sit out there and enjoy them without even starting them.Β  Β  lol

Yes that would be great. AΒ guy can only hope. Karen asked me yesterday-β€œwhen it’s done where are you going to park in for the winter because I want my spot in the garage back.” Β I really didn’t have a good answer. Lol.Β

You’d have to know her to understand. Lol. SERIOUS homebody. Grocery store only. She loathes shopping. That means she spends less, so that’s good for me. Lol.Β

Bathtub works great, although I prefer the dishwasher!! πŸ€ͺπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I don’t know. That’s pushing it. I think I might be sleeping in the garage if I tried that.Β

Dennis a win is a win no matter how you look at it. But if i were you, i wouldnt leave that grill in there too long!!!!Β  Β  LOL

I scrubbed it and cleaned all the dirt off. It’s been out and rinsed for a few hours now. Probably dry and ready for inspection. I left her thing soak in there. When she went down to get it she cleaned the tub and everything. She’s so good to me. Lol. ( I’m sure I’ll pay for that somehow )
