Or at least that's what I think at the moment and that alone is probably a couple days of labor.
PS I'm looking at possibly using a sequential shifter mechanism for the Top Loader. That outta get you excited . . . banging straight through the gears.

Weld up the holes in the engine compartment? Ha! If we set a rough timeline for completion, we will have stuff like that on our list, but come the night before we have it scheduled for paint, we won't be worrying about stuff like little holes here and there, we'll be saying to ourselves "sh*t! we still need to sand the door jambs and remove the windows!" At 2am!
This ain't a show car, set realistic goals. We're making custom panels, I don't even want to think about the hundreds of man hours and bloody sand paper that it's going to take to get them somewhat straight. (I don't mean bloody in the British sense, I mean bloody like my type A and that aids infested fluid that leaks slowly out of a dead hooker.)
But really don't take time off of work. I'm sure I'll spend the first half of the day scratching my head and getting setup, by the time you get home from work I should be ready to hammer shome shtuff out.
