Over-analysis paralysis or paralysis by analysis. I suffer from that... never knew there was a name for it until I read it on here somewhere.
I prefer procrastinating perfectionist but the gist is that I want it to turn out so nice and be so thought out I fail to begin.

Looks like you need to buzz a hole shut by the subframe connector Chief?

Great work as usual. I think you need a few more parts to spray so you can give yourself an assortment to view. I think I like the medium blue but normally those hues are not my favorite blues. Rhyme unintended.:BlahBlah:

Like Track Rat, the color may be an exception on a car as impressive as yours will be. I didn't think I would like Makita blue on Track Rat but it works.

That said, the Midnight blue could be cool especially with a stripe.

OK, just checking, weird seeing no lock washers, or nylocks or other style of lock nuts on suspension parts,

to be in the garage .... in the 50's! Well, this roll bar is taking longer than I thought to get the angle of the dangle to match on two sides and level with the car. So here is the progress so far, I gotter pretty close for welding, hopefully work on the trunk bars tomorrow and finish this roll bar once and for all!

Oh, I didn't feel like thinking the other day so I sanded the EDP off the quarter, figure once you get started might as well finish it ... its gotta be done sometime :wacko:

Anyhow .... here's some pictures of many hours of compound angle sanding?

Supposed to be snowing be the am ... fire up the heater and get this done!

Thanks for looking ...

Nice progress! having the roof off already helps a lot to. You didn't have to cut holes in the floor to drop the cage so that's nice. Good planning

As usual Chief, your work looks stellar.

Diggin' the metal work!

"to be in the garage .... in the 50's!"
I put the propane heater on for a half hour and it only got up to 21 degrees .
Your killing me here!
Nice work, your doing a great job......... Not too hot in there for ya is it?
Glad your catching a brake with the weather.

That was the other day, it snowed last night and it never got above 28, luckily I put the rigid insulation in for a ceiling and that makes a difference!

Well, get the heater out and finish the trunk bars, got the plates fitting the floor nice and tight, and the bars are there .... may sand the pass side just a hair more.

Went ahead and tacked the main hoop in place for reference on the other bars .... work on it some more tomorrow, 50's :thumbsup:

You have a great work ethic. Just keep plugging away and it will be running soon !!
