Default Back! + Updates

Well I'm back from Kuwait to find a new forum and my account gone

Oh well I'll be a newb again. Anyways my dad continued to work on the '77 for me, all the rear end components (gas tank, crossmembers etc) were sandblasted, and POR-15ed. They look brand new!! Almost like powdercoating! My neighbor's about 90 and he is a genius with mechanical stuff, and he looked at the POR-15 and thought it was thin enough to spray as it was without thinner and it worked! The end result it amazing, when I have time I'll post some pictures.

We also got the windshield frame in from Buddy (fellow member) and got it sandblasted and ready to be put in Monday.

Well thats the latest, glad to be back in the states and on the forum!

Bry

Bryan: Welcome Home to the land of hot showers, good food, and comfortable beds--and corvettes! I can relate to your coming home. I spent 2002 in Afghanistan and one half of 2003 in Iraq. Get to work on your 77! You will enjoy it now more than ever.
