I usually do paint on the lift, makes it easy. Until I get the paint booth cleared out the air purifiers usually take care of it, if not we open a West window or 2 and everything goes right out the big garage door on the South side.

The final piece of the puzzle is painted.

Nice painting I must say.....oh I see that white car every time I come down there..what's the deal on that...you fixing it up or what?
sorry me just being nosey........

That is an S10 with a custom body kit and made into a convertible. 350 Chevy Tuned Port engine, pretty fast. I bought it and have been working on it in my spare time for about 17 years. It was a stock 4cyl truck when I started.

That would work for me..........maybe in the next month or so....my wife is getting a knee replacement at the end of the month and maybe if she feels up to it I could bring her and her new knee....amazing what they can replace now days......

We need to pick a time when Janice can come, her + Sandra can hang out while we do man stuff...


I guess it is done, came out better than I thought.

Looks sooo nice.........after talking to Janice not sure when we can make any plans since she may not be able to do much for at least a month after her knee replacement at the end of this month.....which may put it in September...or if she heals quicker and can get around ok before then....only time will tell..........
