I don't think all of you understand what kind of influances you are. The more I read the more confidant I get, but look I paid $500.00 for the car and it's not like it's a classic or anything for pete's sake it's and '86. Although I will gather as much info as I can and put all of my expertice Iv'e learned hear and it WILL turn out great! It's a whole new ball game now I have to make you guys tell me I did a good job. And I will make you say it. I'm not gonna go out there tommarrow( I can't spell that word) and start slingin' paint chips or maybe not for a week cause when I do I'll try my damndest to have everything I need to do it right. Hell man this is the school.

I upholstered my boat with no help at all but it took me like three months after I bought a 1953 Morse sewing machine (yes I got jacked with a lot)for $50.00 @the swap meet before I had enough information to give me the confidence to even buy the material, but tell me what you think? It's not too bad considering I didn't have hands on folks like Y'all to help me.(OK fine I'm redneck as hell) and I have a 7th grade education, but that don't mean I'm dumber than a box of hammer handles,Right? Right!

I will get that car painted, Oh I'm sorry WE will get that car painted all of us and it's gonna shine like a diamond in a goats ass, cause you got Ricky Lee on the job son.

I shouldv'e been an motivational speaker. No but seriously It's gonna be good.

Iv'e got a good sander and I'm going tomarrow to buy a compresser (high volume) and all the sand paper I need per mustangs advice. By-the -way I liked the extremely precise directions, I need that.


So what do I do about the plastic? I can buy an insert from Ecklers for $70.00 it's only cracked right by the head light. The wole front is 350.00. If I can fix it should I take it off for prep?

I can't get no response on that 383 I'm building for this speed casket. That tech inspector nows his s*** but he's always busy. I just need to know what kind of 350 block I have, I have searched everywhere for those specs. I posted the numbers here but no results.
