ep, looks like I've been evicted. Jim informed me that my workspace had been confiscated and my roadster relegated to the back patio. At least it's covered, and actually a lot cooler than the garage, so maybe I lucked out in that respect. Anyway, there's power and compressed air back there, so other than the trek back and forth to the garage for tools, all is well.
Last month, I started off the fourth part of this series welcoming everyone back to "Candy's garage." Well, I guess I spoke too soon. Since then, my project has been relegated to the back patio-not a bad thing, I guess, since lately it's been well over 100 degrees out where I live, and to be honest, the confines of the garage were way too hot for me anyway. But, I'd wager that Jim's getting a bit jealous because my T is progressing nicely, while his A was gathering spiderwebs out on the RV pad, so that may have been one of the reasons behind the move. Anyway, I guess I'll be finishing the majority of the build while enjoying the benefits of our Riverside foothill breezes as Jim gets back out into the garage and tries to make a bit of headway on his Bruiser-bodied sedan.
With the majority of the upholstery tack strips 'glassed into place and Jim temporarily out of my way (not that I don't appreciate the help, mind you), I was able to get back to work on my own. With the chassis under control and the body mounted, it was time to strike a couple more chores off what sometimes seems to be a never-ending list. While Jim was busy fashioning a custom trans tunnel for me, I stood back and tried to figure out which of the countless chores I should tackle next. The track nose, hood, and hood-side installation were jobs I knew I'd need help with, but I figured I'd be able to handle the steering column and gauge installation on my own-so that's just what I did. Without further adieu, let's take a look.
