    monty, did you leave the texture shit on the sides? I just finished taking mine off, but your method was better. I wire wheeled the top of it down and then put a finish stripper on it and scraped it off. I have a heat gun in my tool chest, I should have thought of that.

      She was ignored today. Well, I guess she posed next her new sister.
      She's getting neglected while I finish "shaking down" the new DD.

          It wasn't as thick on the sides so I just sanded it smoother and painted it.

              Today after work I replaced a missing drivers door catch, not to bad a job at all! Sure will be nice not having the door swing shut on its own now!

                        changed the idler pulley on my m52, only to find out my "supercharger whine" noise is the tensioner.

                          I smoked in my car today, on the way to the Metro station. Drifted around one of the corners on my commute, and shut down this 3rd gen Integra who kept revving at me.

                              Put hood splitters on it. Plus the UPS man just dropped off some goodie's for my Firebird from Summit.
