Nope, more like one week if I do the math and based on the number of labor hours a week! I have been procrastinating for too long and partially due to a lack of room but with as many cars as we have in the shop I need to raise productivity and lessen the number of days a week I work (currently 7). The restoration tech I hired last year has been a Godsend so now I need to start streamlining the rest of the shop not too mention kick Ann's butt a little.

Tired of having cars stored all over the place including taking up my 3 car garage!

If I had the room, I would have LOVED something like that. I just spent the last 3 weeks cleaning and prepping all the front end and engine hardware for my '62 to have it ready for replating. Endless hours between degeasing, wire-wheeling, bead blasting, rinsing, on &amp; on.
Almost done. 31 J nuts to go.

As John Lennon said, &quot;My fingers have blisters on them&quot;
