Close, still need to get suspension, engine and trans back in. Replacing every bushing, bearing etc underneath and trying to finish a tree fort. Headed your way for hunting camp in the next few weeks. Might have to swing by. Keep running into issues like oh hey heim joint hardware hits the damn steering rack.

That's quite the tree fort! My girls want me to build them one but we don't have any old trees as we're in a new house. Thought about getting something like this monster. 5'6" diameter at base, 8'6" tall. Would probably have to rent a crane to place the thing though!

Yowza, sounds like its yours for the low price of a small Toyota smiling smiley

Its been a ton of fun, kids using a mitre saw is scary but they've cut and sanded quite a bit of this themselves. We are Using entirely used decking from a couple buddies who redid their decks this summer

thumbs up smiley

It's "câlice" : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec_French_profanity

In french, one "s" between two vowel makes "z".

Seeing the outdoors while we prime the last few parts. Using CRE epoxy primer so hard and similar to macropoxy. Block it out over weekend and paint color next week then get on reassembly!

Sanding the CRE epoxy is a shit ton of work. I spent like two hours just on the center section of the hood last night! Paint might be a bit more delayed than originally anticipated. smiling smiley
Drew finally busted out the DA sander and is getting busy.
I've been playing with HDR photography but haven't forked out the $100 for the non-trial version of the software but this picture is a composite of 11 different photos at different exposure and f stops.

Its a very cool looking shot. I dont have the patience for photography, (nor the money)

Less camera fiddling more painting. Point, Shoot, Post, its how all the kids are handling photos now.

First picture was taken with Sony A6000 consumer camera with a $180 wide angle lens. Practicing for real estate photos.

Two hours to do rear bumper cover. Switched to using 220 to knock it down and then finish with 320 which makes if much faster. Drew is suffering from the millennial curse known as college and two jobs so we are moving slow now. I spent past two days mostly cleaning and pulling seats and harnesses (which should have been done first). Tomorrow I am going to get it to point of being able to drive so that I have that piece of mind. Kananaskis is coming up very quickly and Big White is just around the corner. If I miss those two it'll be spring before next event and no competition in 2018 which is just unacceptable behavior for an adult such as myself.
