more progression

                 Last Friday we decided to primer the car with primer paint. we went to Pep Boys and bought around eight cans of black spray paint a couple cans of silver and a couple cans of clear coat. we got the car taped up and started to paint it. the days we were painting it, its been really windy outside ,so it took a couple days to finish. after the couple days we got the black done. we took the tape off and taped around the trim off the car. while painting the trim I decided to also paint the rims. the paint was complete and I went to the interior. before we painted the car I didn't mention the we painted the interior as well. we painted it black and red. I will post some pictures as soon as I take some.
                 After painting the car we went to audio express and bought speakers and a new deck. we bought a pair of three and a half inch speakers and a pair of six by nine inch speakers, along with a pioneer deck.  we installed them and the music sounds ten times better then it did. though we did find some issues that are an easy fix but it costs money and its a hassle. first, the motor mount is broken and we have to change it out, but its very difficult. second, the front bushings on the sway bars are bad so those need changed out and that is also difficult, but it will get done.       

progress and incidents

               A couple weeks ago after we got the intake manifold and the carburetor put in we had a couple incident. we started the car up and it started, but  there was a leak in the front of the intake manifold. while the car was running and  the radiator cap was not on all the way on, pressure built up and shot the radiator cap off and the anti freeze out, it looked like an elephant pissing. luckily nobody was in the way of it.  I guess we didn't seal the gasgets on good enough and the cap tight enough. so we had to take off everything and start over, we also went to Pep Boys to buy a new cap and anti freeze. after ordering the gasget again and it arriving we made sure to use more rtv to seal it better. we put everything back together and it took a couple more days then planned, but we got it done. we put the anti freeze in and put the cap on, made sure it was tight on there.
                So after getting it all done Daniel ordered three gages for the water, oil, and the volts. they came in but we only put in the water gage in to see if the engine over heats or not. we didn't put the volt gage on yet, but we started to put the oil gage on on. we took the old oil gage off, but never put the new one on because we got side tracked into checking up on the intake manifold and carburetor. we said okay, I think it is ready to start up, still forgetting about the oil cap. my uncle, angel was standing in front of the car, he was having a bad day, but it only got worse. Daniel started up the car and oil shot out and hit angel right in the face. it was the funniest thing I have ever seen.
