Next we tackled the fitting of the borrowed rotisserie that had been stored outside so all the fasteners were locked up plus some missing parts. We were however successful after a bout with penetrant and a sawzall. More cleaning and grinding then we load it up for blasting which will commence tomorrow.

It's a sickness! I love doing this, and I always have something torn down. My last two projects before this were a 1978 Pantera 24 re-do and a 900hp 22mpg 2005 GTO I built for Hot Rod Drag Week.

Whew, what a weekend. Started out early this morning and got the car stripped, spent a long time cleaning it out to no avail, this thing will have sand pouring out for a while. Had to move on and get the epoxy sealer on but all in all had a very productive weekend.

This afternoon I'm converting "back to a 12 bolt".

A chat with the chassis guy this week has taken a little pressure off, he can't take it till the 18th, I was hoping for the 11th. I'll have a little extra time to get it on the ground and I'll probably need it, I'm extremely busy at work and so far haven't done a whole lot with it this week, trying to work on it a little tonight though.

Parts are showing up and I'm off to hit it for a few hours.
