Day 5 and Day 6

This week, I did not have as much time as I would have liked to work on my car. However, I was able to get the hood and the hatch unbolted from the rest of the car. I also got the weather stripping taken off.

"Driver Side Sand"

In addition, I started to sand on the car.

"Rihanna's Rear"

On Monday, I went to Hwy 21 Motors and found fender turn signals that came off of a Volkswagen Jetta for 10 dollars.

"Passenger Side"

Next week, I hope to be able to continue sanding the rest of the car. I also hope to be able to fabricate and wire the turn signals into Rhianna. I hope to order poppers for both doors, money willing, so later on I will be able to shave the door handles. This is the goal, but we shall see.

Like Father, Like Son, Or So I Hope!!!

This is also a project within a project. My father is really good at fixing up old cars. My goal for this project is for me to do all the work, and learn from my father at the same time. It is like a father/son project, but he will be watching from the sidelines. During timeouts he can come out on the field to tell me and show me what I am doing wrong. I am hoping I can learn his skills and be able to carry on fixing up cars. I will also post pictures from some of the projects that he is working on. This is his 37’ Pontiac that he recently finished. What do you think?
