    telling someone to get their Fat A$$ out the way because he can do it quicker is not very motivating! :rofl2::rofl2:

    No but you got the job done and didn't have to get paint on yourself.:yahoo:

    Sure it is!! It should motivate you to prove him wrong.

    Your problem is that you can't see what needs to be done with all the long hair covering your eyes. Get a haircut, Son. :biglaugh::biglaugh:

    Good to see progress happening on that wagon! Great decision to fix what you have, too. Chances are it will cost significantly less in the long run than replacing it with something newer. After all, the something newer is almost 20 years old and will need work, too, at some point. This way, when you are done, you have a great car, that you love, that doesn't need much in the way of major work for a long time to come. THAT is cheapness at work! LOL

    I don't get home from work until 6:45 pm or so but with the local holiday tomorrow I decided to spend a little time in the shop and get my wire looms on. My helper got lost on me but I sat down next to her and realized a may have made a mistake putting my old recliners and a tv out there!

    The view from the recliner!

    Did get exhaust gaskets and wire looms in place, not much but every little step!

    I haven't gotten a haircut in 15 months - my last haircut was a buzz cut in December 2012 - it's now about 4 inches past my shoulders....

    Dennis 1tire, I am discusted. Your garage looks cleaner than my living room! Since my son stops almost daily to work on something, leaving tools and parts everywhere, I forgot whether my garage has a dirt, cement, or blacktop floor. Plus I know there are walls holding it up but haven't seen them in years. I don't have enough space to mount a 12" TV.
    Other than that your wagon project is coming along great.
