I was feeling pretty good at the middle of the day sat! I felt we were going fast! until the compressor gave out on us! we tryied to get it going again but it never build up enough pressure for continous use. so we went out and rented a bigger one....60 dollars and a hernia later! (those things are heavy!) The compresor was gas powered and it was louder than a train! but it worked great!
-
some used the grinder, some sanded panels by hand and some cooked the carne asada which was the most savory meat i had in quite a while! it must have been all the dust in the air that made it taste great!!!!
-
here are the beginning of the day sat. it was alot of work to get the body looking all in one piece again. i had done soo much little patch work here and there and everywhere it had about 6 different colors on the body!
-
thank you guys for reading! i like the grill too! believe it or not it was a gift from a forum member here. Such a blessing to have many awesome friends here on the P15-D24 forum! In the car we worked hard to do the body work on sat and ended up too late to shoot it sat so we waited until today to shoot it. it was quite alot of work. I loved hanging out with this guys. they enjoyed cars and helping anyone out! it was a great bunch of friends!I will attached some pictures to best describe the days!
