WEDDING!!! Yeah you better hurry up before May because time quickly diminishes "I do". Those are powerful words.

As for me, I am daydreaming of my car being back on the road. I will try this weekend to get the front suspension parts off my frame so I can either soda blast it or just wire wheel it. Then coat it with POR15 or etching primer and paint. Then comes the fuel & brake lines. Also, I want to paint under the body while it is up in the air.

and I almost forgot about body work. Now that will more than likely be in the dead of winter when it's real cold out. If I get a big enough bonus, I may order my C5 brake kit.

Mind you, all this could change before the weekend is official.
