Default Rained out.

It been a long nasty winter here. My work is outside today. It going to be warm. I am sitting in my shop at the computer getting motivated drinking coffee.
Since I can't work I going to do what i want to. Work but on something i want not need to do. Sand on the chevelle. Yesterday I was sitting in the chevelle dreaming of the day I can actually drive it. I noticed I am alot bigger than I was in high school. I am so used to driving my van and durango that the cockpit in the chevelle isnt as big as I remember it being. I think one of my projects soon will be making the seat go back a couple more inches. Alter the seat track a little.
I got half the drivers door to sand and some quarter and rocker work to complete. And it finally going to be ready for high build. See what is left to do on this mess. I basically waiting for warm weather to prime some stuff. If it suits me the doors and hood trunk lid come off then Jamb everything out reassemble. then we getting close to this stage in the work to be completed. Another blocking see if anything moved and it ready. After all this time it feels like X-Mas.
Then start the long process of assembling things.
Far from done but out of the woods.

How much room I had inside was the first I notice also. Thought I had more head room in high school. I seem to peg the headliner in it.

I guess being my size isn't such a curse. (5'9 175)
