2017 Mods and fixes

Progress to date. Got most of the bumps and shaping done. Need to pick up some pin hole filler and start the fine sanding.

Washing station after a 320 grit sanding.


First semi-uniform coat of primer. Next pin holes and 500 grit and up sanding.

No progress. Insanely busy with Duck rescue and life. So I am on my way to see my GF in a different city when my driveshaft in my truck explodes. So 100 dollar tow and 90 dollars worth of parts. It's fixed.



I then drive three hours to pick up this guy. He is a male muscovy duck with Angel Wing. It's a medical condition where a nutritional deficiency causes the last bone the wing to twist. The causes the outer primary feathers on the bird to go outward giving it an angel effect.


I need to get my car back on the road!

so did a U joint let go, or the carrier bearing? and on replacing the windshield in Philomena, get it done professionally.

All three U joints came apart with the center bearing. AGGGHHH. Now I need to go to advance auto and see if they will refund my money.

Got my money back on the old parts. Will be moving the truck out once I get some cashola and replacing it.

Got stuff painted, YEAH! Now time for assembly.

I did a touch painting on rear spoiler. The inner stickies did not stick, oh well


Front fender being attached.


I did a buff and it's on the road. Yes I did drive it to work today


One thing I noticed, the brakes are super soft so I need to figure what happen to the them. So that's next on the list.

I am thinking I need to get the cruise control installed. I have a button module and never could make up my mind where to put it.
