Finishing up on my Rollbar install. An angle drill, angle attachment for a drill, or a 12" bit makes the drilling part easier on the back plates.

I used Montego Blue (M8) touch up paint on the sheet metal that I cut to make room for the rear legs of the Hard Dog Hard Bar Sport.

Summer break so I decided to replace some old coolant hoses:

I bought a driver side door shell a while back and I finally decided to install it today. The paint on the donor door might not perfectly match the paint on the entire car. However, the donor door has far less dents and I'm trying to avoid body fillers as much as possible. I'm still debating whether to shoot the car myself with M8 Urethane base coat/ clear coat.

I was able to finish the install by the end of today. The old door had a long crease with 4 dents, so here is the new door:

My original trunk was all dented up with the clear coat peeling off. I waited and waited... finally I found a replacement trunk from a wrecked 97 Montego Blue.

My goal is to replace the dented parts of the body before the paint job.
Got me a Racing Beat Elbow Intake.
