    Now that I have suspension under the stallion,,, she is going to be rolled into the Garage Thursday and hooked up to the frame machine,, going to pull the Frame where it was hit,,:thumbs2: Soon as we get that pulled out,, its going to get her new Apron assembly and frame rail,,:bananaman we are going to assemble the car with the parts that are going on the car and setting a
    Mock up V8 engine in place for weight,, all the adjustments will be centered,, meaning all the adjustment holes on the fenders and hood along with door,,:thumbs2:,, we will do all the final welding while the car is together,,, :yahoo:,, then she will be completely stripped to the shell and black beauty blasted,,, and sent off for acid dipping and self etching primer,,, we will get the shell back and start removing dings and dents.

    She will then get a serious coat of Uro-prime while on the Rotisory,, the body will be block sanded until she is smooth and straight,, then she gets one last coat of uro-prime,, water sanded with 600,,, and she will get a complete coating of sealer,,, then comes her Red paint,, about 6 coats,,
    underside and all over,, then 4 coats of clear,, we will color sand her and make her smooth as Glass,, then mask off for her Black stallion stripes,,

    then 4 more coats of clear,,, she gets color sanded again removing all transision lines between the black and Red,, and gets a final 4 coats of clear,,,, color sanded one last time and polished to look like a mirror,,
    give her a nice hot bath,,, get all that rubbing compound out of all the cracks and seems,,, wax her real good and aply a seal coat,, let her sit on the Rotisory in the sun for a day or so out side,, make sure she is completely dry,,,

    Then comes all the new NOS suspension,, assembled with white lithium grease,, and all the new Fuel lines and brake lines,, we get her all mechanically assembled and sitting on all 4 wheels,, and run all the wirering,,,, and other goodies,, After she is all mechanically assembled and running,, then comes the Interior,, and final finishing Items,,, :yahoo:

    Then its off for an alignment and a 300 mile test drive to break in the engine and trans,, Bring it back and change the oil and filter once more,,
    and then we can stretch her legs a bit,,,,:thumbs2:
