Last couple of days - Matt Peetz - 05-26-2011
Well it has been about a month since i have been able to work on the mach and had a couple days here before i head back to work and took advantage of it.
I have the new quarters in place, 1 floor pan in place(gonna wait on the other floor pan till i get the 1 welded in), a couple engine aprons in place, new rad support in place, headlights in place, and grill.
I have everything screwed into place. I want to test fit everything before i start welding things in place. I have an issue with the rear quarters or bumper. I will start another thread for that.
Will post a couple photos and will link to the album.

Welcome back Matt,
It looks like you are making good progress. Thanks for the picture updates - real motivators. No excuses for the rest of us not to stay at our alloted project. Keep us updated.

Great job! It must feel good to get that much accomplished!
RE: Last couple of days - Matt Peetz - 05-26-2011
Thanks fellas. It gets a little daunting at times but sure does help when you start to put things back together. There have been a couple of times i thought in the process "What the hell are you doing"

I'm sure we've all been there so don't feel bad about asking any question, even if you think it's dumb.

Awesome progress Matt! Nice seeing you around here!!
RE: Last couple of days - Matt Peetz - 05-26-2011
Thanks. The last month and a half has been kinda hectic.
I have been averaging 105-115 hours a week at work. My wife had her last part of breast reconstruction done and my grandfather had passed away.
So it felt good to spend a few days on the car before i go back to work tomorrow.

Matt be careful working those 16 hour days, they'll make an old man out of you. I speak from experience.

LOL it might help push it farther but 20 years of construction and 10 years of building houses by myself have already pushed my body 20 years older than i am. Now i am just trying to get my brain caught up with the body.
