Stop in for a cup of coffee

Thinking about showing up at John's unannounced at 04:00 and running around in the yard...

Almost done with that piece of **** Trans Am. trying to fix the core support and inner fender was no fun and then the metal bracket for the top of the bumper was another nightmare to fix. Bumper is aftermarket and then to make things worse the owner painted the bumper and fender with a rattle can. I'm not proud of my work but I've had enough.

A bit of a setback today on shoulder rehab. In my best Lt. Dan voice I flipped the bird at the pain pills and embraced the suck with full on immersion of PT, they want thirty reps I gave them two hundred. Decided if my body wanted pain by golly I was going to give it some. This evening As I crawl my way back to the pain pill bottle whimpering like a whipped pup it has dawned On me I am only three days post op. Perhaps my plan was a day or two premature. Pain, like a good amp should be set to eleven.
Sorry to hear that
 
Thankfully there is ZERO rust under the windows and I only broke the windshield which was delaminating anyways.

After the seat is out itll be ready for the cage. :D

You did good Fred, put down the rattle cans.
 
Something to think on. My body shop buddies found it easier when putting a cage in a Baja Bug to just cut an appropriate sized hole in the roof to make a good weld through and do the body work on the holes when done.
@shittyslant6 this is a good idea, but would take it further. I wish I would have cut the entire roof off my Chager to do the cage. Another way is to hole saw the floor. Then it can be tacked, dropped theu the floor to weld on top, then put back up in. This worked for some but things I added later bit me. If ever again, I'd tack it in place, cut the roof off, weld fully, then put roof back on. Way less work.
