here's the update for today:
Andrew and Nick came over to help, we started by finishing dropping the diff/crossmember to free the gas tank. I need to buy new bolts - the long ones that go through the rear lateral arms. I also need new endlinks and maybe rear lateral arms lol.
diff out
the objective - get the tank out
messy garage is messy
painted my rear decklid block off plate flat black so it won't reflect (it wasn't painted in the engine bay lol, it was just sitting there to dry
we finished riveting the pass thru block off plate with the tank out of the car
masking off the windows for paint
she's pretty much ready for painting tomorrow. think 10 cans is enough to do the interior?
