I did, but I need to go back and review it. I completely filled up a 128GB card in my GoPro filming it. It's going to get trimmed down quite a bit, LOL.

That one will take a while to break down. I put the spoiler back on it, just left the hatch primered for now.

I moved on to the hood. Gotta get the ram air hood off it before winter. It allowed a lot of water in the two holes and made a huge mess.

Whitey, will Frankie be in the garage this winter? I know I've seen cars in primer rust just setting there because the primer wasn't sealed.

It's either Frankie or The Eight Nine that stays in the garage. You know who wins there. I have some black paint that I might put over the body work on the back. Planning on painting the hood though. I'm still hoping to run into another hatch for a GT. I listed this LX hatch on FBMP.

EDIT: My Buddy keeps hinting at getting a storage unit for Frankie and his Vette. We'll see.

Huh, that looks just like mine. So close in fact we should just trade. You'll hardly notice the difference.

I went to go thread the new OEM studs into my hood scoop and the studs are a smaller size. Looks like someone along the lines put larger studs in it. I ordered some JB Marine Weld, or whatever it's called. Tomorrow though, I'll go over to Ray's Fasteners and see if they have something else that I can use that is larger. If it's not one thing, it's another.

How are you all doing? Everyone else pinching of their last turd... I mean, finishing your last projects before winter?

Marine-tex can be bought in lots of sized cans. Once that hardens, it's HARD. lol
