More Paint

I don’t have the lux­ury of a lift, so we are work­ing on the under­car­riage in sec­tions, I’m not real com­fort­able with the car up on jack stands at all four cor­ners, so we do a lit­tle at a time.  Today we touched up some spots on the frame and under­coated the rest of the under­side.  So now she is done from the front bumper mounts back to the end of the trans­mis­sion tun­nel.  Ear­lier, we had done from the rear bumper mounts for­ward to the rear axle, so that all that is left is the cen­ter of the car from the rear of the trans­mis­sion to the rear axle.

I stopped in to see Richie at Fulvi Radi­a­tor and he installed the lower shaft in prepa­ra­tion to install sus­pen­sion parts. Painted A Frame I would have done it, but did not have wrenches big enough and they needed to be torqued down to 175 lbs.  While there I checked on the sta­tus of the engine and found that we are on hold for the moment.  There is a huge road con­struc­tion project in that part of town and the gas line has been shut off, all of my parts have been cleaned and are sit­ting in the oven wait­ing to be baked so we just have to wait for the gas to be turned back on.
