Another Milestone...

Installed the driver's kick panel, door panel with handles, sill trim, and recently installed the rear quarter panel on that side. I didn't use the stock watershields, but instead went with a layer of Dynamat Extreme. There are some small bumps on the top where the clips are sticking out a very little bit on the door panel. Probably not worth mentioning, but it's kinda bugging me. Hmmm... I do like the Medium Blue Metallic metal panels, original 66 Blue seats/dash pad/door panel, with the Ford Blue carpet. (For reference, the flash lightened every piece one shade.)


For my b-day tomorrow, Rachael made me a cake. Amazingly, as old as I feel, my car is a couple years older than I am!

Quarter Horse

I installed the interior quarter panel today on the passenger side. I had already stripped and painted the metal panel and it really came out great. I also installed the fresh fuzzy window trim with rivets.


On the car, I painted the clean metal with POR-15 and then covered with Dynamat Extreme and aluminum tape on the edges instead of using the flimsy watershield.


Then I put in the quarter panels with fresh screws and a new window crank.

Good Guys: Southeastern Nationals 2008


I went to the Good Guys Southeastern Nationals today at Lowe's Motorspeedway in Charlotte, NC and took about 175 pix. I tried to get a little of everything, but found myself mainly interested in the engines. Some of them were pretty amazing. Check out my photo album (176 pix).
