Well, I had to be away from the forum for a bit but it was for a good cause. I was able to spend some time working on my car!
For most owners that might be nothing more than going to the garage but for me it entails traveling to another country! My family and I live in Mexico where we do missionary work and the car at this time cannot travel with us. I am not sure that it ever will travel this way in that I am not too fond of having it taken off my hands by some gun toting drug thug who happens to like it or some unscrupulous official who wants one of those.
Anyway I travelled to Tucson to meet the family and bring them back from an Ohio visit and had a chance to put in a few hours in on the car. The windshield and the back glass were out of the car when I purchased it so I wanted to take the channels down to bare metal and ready them for glass install. As you can see I am also planning on changing the color of the car. It was originally 6E (Medium Bright Yellow) , now white but I hope to go with 6C (Medium Yellow Gold).
It was good therapy! Now if I could only work on it more frequently than every other month!
