Day 6

We found ourselves back in the garage tonight. The holidays are finally over so we can get back into the restoration. We didn't do a whole lot tonight, but at least we figured out a plan of action and have an idea as to what our next move is.

The first thing we did was hang plastic around my car. That way we can start grinding soon and it will keep most of the dust from getting on Mike's cars. We also hoped that by having plastic up it would make it so our heaters would work better; having less of an area to heat. Our newest heater was one my work had. They ended up selling them for $10.63 to the employees who wanted one. I figured it was a darn good deal. We managed to blow the fuse with both heaters going and a light... but we got it all figured out. The heaters were nice to go stand next too... but they are not enough to keep up with the whole garage. So it is still VERY COLD.

After hanging the plastic... Mike took the Master Cylinder, Junction Block, and the Brake lines off the engine bay.

The next thing we plan on doing is removing any clips or bolts from the engine bay. Then we will tackle stripping the paint from the engine bay. We also will need to cut out the rust spots on the tops of the fender aprons and weld in some new metal.

We are planning on spending some more time in the garage now that the holidays are over... but its just so cold. I wish the garage was insulated, but that wont happen for a few years yet. Oh well... at least we do have the little heaters we can huddle around when we get too cold. I am very grateful for that!
