Body Work

After weeks of working on the brake system, we decided to move on to something a bit more productive - body work.  Well, not so much real body work, just a little rust removal and priming.  I've tried body work years ago, but I wasn't that good at it.  Sooooo - I was thinking I'd just pay someone to do all the minor repairs, replace the really bad parts, and then have it professionally painted.  However, several friends have suggested that I should try the body work again, before paying.  What the heck!  I have a second door off a wrecked car, so I may try my hand at bondo.  If I can't master the simple stuff, I'll just have it done.  No big loss.  ;)

After working on the new door, I'll probably go back to the brakes one more time.  I now have all the new brake hoses, which should fix the bakes for good.  Time will tell.  Stay tuned.
