    Been patching my quarters... Got the whole pass side wheel well rebuilt, and then the quarter patches are all on the passenger side.. This turned out to be a lot more work than I Imagined.. Hopefully I'll get a couple layers of high build on it and filler maybe saturday, got called back to work tomorrow though.. So that sucks...

    But hey... After this side that only means there's 1 more side to go.

    I did this too but mine was melting dome light lense.


    I sandblasted a bunch of suspension parts yesterday and cut 1" holes in shock towers so I can grease uca and reinforced the metal.

    Tried to remove the heads, didn't happen, my six point 1/2 inch drive short socket decided to flair out, didn't break just flaired out so it just spins on the bolt head, no one in town had a suitable replacement socket (went to a bunch of stores), all anyone had were deepwell and they wouldn't work, had to go out of town on business so I stopped in and found one at NAPA in Blountstown Fl. will get back at it in the morning:thumbs2:

    Applied seam sealer to the pass side quarter where needed.. Had to rush a bit as I wanted to get back to watch shameless, looks amazing even though no one will ever see it lol... I think I'm going to have to roll the lips again.. Sorta depressing but I guess that's what you get when you run 295's :(
    Also still need to order a couple more things.. But just got a notice in the
    Mail, tuition is due in like a month...plus I need more books :(
