Almost had a disaster...

Good thing I stopped by BEFORE the car was painted. Check THIS out....

What's wrong with this picture class? C`mon... SOME of you where in class the day this was taught and not hanging out at the hand ball courts getting high. Anyone? You, in the back. What did you say?

CORRECT! One hole TOO MANY! This fender was originally off of a base model with that nifty V-8 emblem mounted here. I drilled an extra hole for the S emblems and made a short-lived mental note to have it welded shut.

Here's Bret patiently welding shut a hole I totally missed during all the prep work. He calmly mentioned that if this was noticed a day from now it would have been a major pain in the *** to fix....

Here's it's going bye-bye....

Skim coat of plastic and what hole?

Umm...handball anyone? 8) Just keep an eye out for this guy.:glasses4: LOL! Good job John.

Good catch John. I took the easy route and welded them all, then drilled new ones when the time came to put the DEMON back on.

When I was in High School there was a certain "atmosphere" around the hand ball courts during the day. Kinda like looking out over Los Angeles....

I read this reply and said to myself "are ALL stoners alike?"

It was indeed a smoke-fest between 1st. & 3rd. periods down there. Amazing...

Nice save John, now stop talking, hit it and pass it.

Which reminds me, when we getting together? Let me know if next weekend is happening out at Whiskey's and we'll take a cruise out in the Dart.

And yes, we'll "hit the handball courts..."

We used to go under the bridge or find someone with a van. It used to look like that scene from "Fastimes at Ridgemont High" when we opened the doors. :happy7:

Nice catch! That would have been tough to catch once shot with metallic paint.

Good thing Bret is doing the work on your car now and not in a few years. His eyesight isn't going to be too good down the road not using goggles while welding. :sad9:

Yeah, I know. I watch him "close his eyes..." when he welds and he thinks he's OK. I'm not about to preach shop safety to someone who's worked like this all his life. I work with guys who do similar stupid things every day and I can't say a word. I'd just waste my breath.
