hahaha I was working on my own ride yesterday. Put it up on my alignment stands and almost finished aligning it. I wanted to make some...things (don't know what to call them) to be able to measure toe without having to use strings, and I found out I have no 220 in the garage any more. Gotta call the a/c contractor that was out last month so they can fix that, &%$#@$!
Just for grins I took my new body hammer and tried whacking that quarter a couple of times. Damn, sheet metal moves pretty slowly. With the way my fuel cell area is sealed off, there's no way for me to reach the inside of the panel and the outside at the same time, so this is gonna be harder than I thought (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Oh well, it'll run, and that's what matters most. |
