Well the Green1/Grabber Blue likes about 6 hours of manual labor to finish the sanding and priming before entering the paint booth.
The X-Frame rust condition is yet to be completed. My Draftsman/Engineer/Laser Buddy is to draw/laser cut/bend the individual pieces to make a new cross member. Time out for now until the pieces arrive.
In the meantime work on the 0766 Red GT is underway. Some buffing has been done. Installation of some chrome pieces have been accomplished. Re-chromed and new items are making it look really nice. A new walnut dash panel with new Smith gauges will be wired in some time next week when the Molex Quik Disconnect stuff arrives. I decided this time that I would be a bit more creative and wire the dash panel in such a way that I could "disconnect" the panel and the gauges from the wiring harness under dash if and when I need to remove it for other work "down under"
