Breaker! Breaker!
Well, here it is. Not the progress thread I wanted to start with here, but I guess I was getting restless not getting to do any enjoyable mechanical work. And by no means do I consider replacing parts, particularly body parts or body work enjoyable, but it's giving me the chance to get to some things that need attention and some things that I want to pay some attention to.
I'm sure most of you know by now (I've been whining about it for awhile now ) that 2 weeks before I got laid off from KW I got hit by a brainless, uninsured 19 year old girl driving her boyfriend's Escalade. Instead of ranting some more, I'll just link to the thread. http://www.oilburners.net/forums/sh...vember-3rd-Wreck&highlight=November+3rd+wreck
I took a knee and got a bit screwed on insurance payment (truck was in her boyfriend's mom's name and insured). So now that I feel like I'm 2 months behind schedule getting into this thing I'm finally getting a chance to turn some wrenches. Found the only heat-able, dry place that could accommodate the massive size of the Enterprise, my grandparents barn. It thinks it's a garage. All steel, 2 windows and a nice, flat concrete floor (something I've been ******* after). Even thought most of it is paled with unused crap, years ago, long before I was a thought, my father partitioned off a portion of the back as a wood shop. I've made a makeshift paint booth out of it. Just got the tools out to it today and piddled a little. I'm hoping to get all this done before I get called back/have to go back to work. Pics and updates in next post.
