I'll have to look at the video at work. This laptop is acting up and I cannot load Flash, or even acrobat newer than 6.0!

I had about an hour to start back on mine today after taking a week and traveling to see grandkids for Christmas.

Removed front bumper and headlights to prepare for sanding:



And I found this unused connector behind the right headlight. Don't know what it is for. Open to suggestions...just curious more than anything else. It doesn't have one on driver's side, and connector for fog lights are below readiator:


and got a better view of damage on AC condenser. It doesn't leak, but I think I will replace it anyway. My luck, it will leak just as I get it buffed!







I also went yesterday to look at a 1954 Chevy Bel Air, and got up the courage to take the wife by to look at it this afternoon. Only body work it needs is repaint - NO rust! Thinking I will grab this up for $750 and put in the project line after the Ram, the Jag, then the Bel Air and hold off on Super Beetle. Then my son calls tonight and wants me to build him a 429....starting this weekend. I hate it when work gets in the way of play....

 

A 54 Bel-Air for 750 bucks??? Holy smoke. JUMP on that.

 

Did the drive by with the wife last night and she just roller her eyes with that "what do you need another car for look".....so I take that for approval!

I planned to get with the guy by mid morning, but I keep getting calls from the Attorney General's office and the Governor's office....can't get out of the office! Hate it when work gets in the way.... Going to have to be late coming back from lunch. This is TOO important NOT to do. The guy is asking $1000, but I am going to roll out Benjamins and see if he bites at $750.

 

Well, it isn't a second generation, and it isn't a Ram, but my vehicle inventory went up form seven to eight. I gotta get a bigger garage....

The guy would not come down to $750, so I had to go all the way up to $800.....(maybe that's why I cannot rotate it to the correct position!)

 

Nice! Fairly complete too. Congrats.

 

Picked up hevy and gonna park it in back.. If I start to tinker with it, I won't finish the Ram. May hire one or two neighbor hood kids to help with some of the sanding. I now have 3 at the house that need sanding.....probably prime them all the same weekend....

Well, now out to garage to work on Ram. Weather is great today!

 

Nice find! Sweet deal man, good for you.

 

Thanks.


Worked on Ram this afternoon. Had a creaase in front fender right on the cureved part of fender. Filled it and sanded two times. Keep getting it too flat. This is going to be the hardest part I believe. Filled it a little more this evening to get it right.

 

Sweet car !I've always wanted one of those....... and the Ram is coming along too!

 

what have you got planned for the bel air restore or fuel injection, chassis upgrades air bags etc ? should be a cool car when done. looks like you got the ram into the final stage before primer coming right along
