    Well here in my backyard part of the Great Northeast it is currently 88*F and scheduled to go to 90*+. That isn't the 'killer', it's the humidity which is now sitting on my humidistat at 94%. I'm puttering with my car, but my shirt is ready to wring out as the 88* outside translates to 92* in my garage with no breeze but a dying fan's whispers

    It's the same thing here, I'm not close enough to the coast. If it's 90 outside the garage, then it's 5 to 8 degrees hotter inside! And that's just to much for me! I did do a little sanding over the weekend. Actually added some mud to bring the hood lines closer. But after an hour my clothes just seem to be stuck to me permanently. Even my sneakers squished on sunday!

    Rear end update....

     



    Ok, while you guys are complaining about the heat, I'm actually getting some things done today... It's sunny and 66 here....but I don't wanna rub it in too much....

    So, I finished welding mounting nuts onto my housing to hold the brake hose brackets, plumbed some new brake lines on the axle, snapped some photos for you guys, then took it all apart to paint it. This is that Eastwood Extreme Black Chassis paint or whatever it's called. It's supposed to dry for 48-72hrs before handling Oh well, I have other stuff to do anyway....
