26 December 2020

And Christmas 2020 has come and gone. YES!  Did have Daughter's family over - 5 in total.  Daughter Holly,  Hubby Clint  their Son Zack  Their Daughter Alex and Her Hubby Kabuli. 




I even ended up with a 50 buck Amazon gift card from GDaughter.  
Lotsa food and memories and plans discussed among them and me not adding a lot and wife less. Just let them talk and listen. 

But the last weeks came with a few surprises.  Me and DA Vette bring in the wrong place at the wrong time and getting a tire gator into the right front of my car. Wrapped around the tire and made a mess of the body work in that area. 
On the jacks. Yes messed up. 


And with the nose off! La Yuk! 


Then begin what I want to do at this stage!  I really don't need the brake ducts to cool the front disks as don't drive that fast. for Sure. 
So decided to get a fiberglass kit from Auto Supply and build a plate to fit and glass it in place. 

So, Super glue a few splits together and let dry for a day. 


Then start building the panel to attach to the broken part of the inner fender. 




Then wash, blow dry and sand the area around the tear. Add piece and enough glass to get it stuck in place. 


Pinning it in place with pliers and clothes pin. Adding epoxy and let dry for a few hours then a 2nd coat. 


Then sand , add more epoxy,. sand and paint 1st coat of black to see where I'm at. 



Then sand that and repaint. and that's good. 



Did order parts from Vette Villians for 75 bucks delivered which were mail to me the 24th.

And yesterday, ordered paint from a place in New Orleans that had a kit I used before that was a perfect as you gonna get match. About 79 bucks for a pint kit. 

Monday will call a few places about a new nose. 

Mean while, in the chill mode and learning the emergency brake system. LOL.
