Undercoating day! If one is curious about what happens to undercoating when sprayed in a climate that mimics the atmosphere of Mercury, look know further than North-Central Texas and spray away! No, you're not getting hit by BBs. That's the spray solidifying in mid air then hitting the car and bouncing back into you! Best part? The concrete is so hot that it turns back from a solid state into a liquid on the frying-pan style floor so it becomes a gooey mess on everything but where it needs to be stuck to. I know.... and you wonder why I'm getting out of the hobby!
 But it finally all came out like it was supposed to. We decided sloppy... but not too sloppy. The inner splash shields for the rear upper control arm adjusters are missing, so a paper towel on one side protects the engine from overspray. The other side will need replacing but it'll do for this. So with this done, the car is packed up and ready to go. Bumpers get painted tomorrow in the morning when it's cooler and will be mounted up Friday!  Hopefully they'll be no issues and then a couple mor passes with the buffer! Back on its feet too! Cheers Dave

Don't worry. Dave's just saying that as I am sure many here have after a long tough restoration. It's the old "I'm not going to do that again" spiel . . . until another car catches his eye. It's in his blood. It's part of his persona.
Right Dave?

Yeah, unfortunately it is, Lee. I'm so anxious to get back on that 507 I can't stand it.
Plus, who's threads have commentary that makes no sense like mine? And Des, we all know I'll be getting a Judge one day!  This car has just beat me up eight ways to Sunday! I do appreciate there compliments, guys! They mean a lot! Cheers  Dave Last edited by A12pilot; 08-13-2020 at 11:21 AM.

I'm exhausted too, and not just because I have a cadre of delivery driver assassins vowing revenge against me, for impugning their reputations for the fact that they couldn't seem to find Dave's evil lair down on that volcanic island in central Texas.
Once I can lure them away from Dave, he should recover forthwith. Let's see if they dare travel to New Jersey for the continuation of this miniseries... And when Dave finds his Judge, we are flipping the tables and it's going to start its first half up here while I build the engine and do the greasy stuff.
