In order to help you get focused, I'm coming up there to help you in your restoration efforts. I just completed a ground up full custom 2004 Pontiac Aztek Woodie....I specialize in exposed hinges and tarps.... ![[Linked Image]](http://www.freakingnews.com/pictures/59500/Home-Made-Car--59634.jpg) Actually, this looks better than the production models.

Ya know? It kinda does look like an Aztec. And a roadster to boot!

Oh my... The natives are restless.
We spent 7 hours out in the shop yesterday unearthing the roadrunner from my season of shop neglect. (hunting season)
I can see the tin chicken and I have room to get around it and work on it now.
And I really have nothing better to do, so I might jump back into it.
Something clever here.

Pulled the windshield out of the runner today, this exposed some of the color that's never seen sunshine. Factory paint, this is the color I'm going back to. ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/106_6295.jpg)

Very nice. We have 2 shevies at home here that we really like too.  One is a little older than yours and one is a little newer, both are tin chevies.

That factory paint is righteous. Glad your back at it, Dave.

Remember when those old 1960's Corvettes were a dime a dozen?

Well I went after the rear window tray today. I had rusted out areas on both lower areas of the window tray left and right corners. After cutting the rust out I had a hole like this on both left and right sides of the car. ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/106_6297.jpg) After the patch : ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/106_6298.jpg) Both left and right patches will get a glaze coat of metal 2 metal filler prior to prime and paint. It's all hidden after the glass and trim go in but you still want it done right. I also did some welding at the top forward corners of each quarter panel where these bodies like to crack. Getting back into the project slowly but I'm picking up a little speed again and doing a lot of planning for the work that's still ahead of me.

dayum but that boy has grown Dave, just sitting here shaking my head marveling at that fact
I can like the car, you build some good chit.
but I believe family is what you build best, and am proud of you for that fact.
just registered my binky boy hon for selective service, I swear to my maker it's gone by in the blink of an eye.
