[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16589188, member: 70025"] Hello All! Well, I believe I hit 2 milestones this weekend. One was a coordinated milestone and the other was a physical one. I'll start off with the coordinated milestone. Some of you may remember I mentioned, in another thread, that my brother was a service advisor here in town at one time. He used to coordinate with a body shop that would fix damaged vehicles on the lot. He got to know the general manager of the body shop very well and they became friends outside of work because they both had interests in building older cars. Well, my brother put me in contact with him and he came out to look at my car this weekend. Turns out he's a Ford guy and loved my build. I asked him if he would be interested in helping me complete the engine bay and he said yes. I know I've been doing most of the work, but after spending al this time and money I don't want the paint to lift, crack or fade because I did something wrong. So, I wanted to ensure the paint was done correctly. Just as I wanted to ensure my front suspensions was welded in correctly. So, the body shop guy said that once I pull everything back out to call him and he will come over and help me finish off the engine bay. Basically at that point he will take over the body and paint and I will become his apprentice for lack of a better term. We scheduled this for April. He said he could only work on Saturday and said based on where I got the car to this point it should take us 3 Saturdays to get the engine bay completely painted. SWEET! I cannot wait to get that milestone actually completed :D. BTW: I received my McLeod billet aluminum flywheel over the weekend. I'm only missing the clutch disc and pressure plate and my drivetrain will be complete. [/QUOTE]
