The workday blues welcome the arrival of a road trip

Cristy and I woke up early Saturday morning in search of some adventure. We jumped on A1A in Ft. Lauderdale and took it all the way up the windy coast to J.D. MacArthur Beach State Park, in North Palm Beach. It took us a good part of the day, because we stopped along the way, but we had had one hell of a lazy Saturday and saw some really beautiful scenery.

Starting the bodywork

Grassroots Motorsports FTW! So i decide d to start on some of the bodywork this past monday. My cousin lent me his compressor and DA sander. I went to the local hardware store, picked up some sandpaper and primer, and got to it THis is actually my 2nd day of sanding. On the first day all I was able to do was the driver's side of the hood. Its a junkyard hood, so it had some funky ripples, and had already been re-painted once. Good Times , after sitting in an office staring at a computer all day! Well after having a close call with a curb and putting a huge lump on one of my tires, I thought it was time to get some shiny new shoes for this piece. I picked them up for super cheap. They are 15x8 with a +15 offset. I'm planning on running a 12mm spacer in the back and prolly going to stretch the tires a bit so they won't rub. I'm still unsure about the color... but i think im going to paint them.
