...and me, sitting at home with nothing to do and nobody gives me a ring. 
That would have been a perfect reason to get out of the house.
Tomorrow I will probably come by after we check out the new apartment for my son to put 1400 watts in my Pickup and am glad to see that the lift is finally free.
Can´t wait to check out your progress in person.

If I find the time I will come over and help you get that blue paint off.
I thought I would learn how to do it on yours before I do it to mine.

So today
i had to do some service to my daily driver so not much progress on my cutty....
just did some work around the rear window the trunk section and the second rocker panel....
Its just the small things that costs time... i believe all of you guys know best....
The roof completely turned into black, means the rust converter has worked, it gave the metal some more strength... dont know how this thing makes it- maybe magic
Here the pictures..:
