on occasion I do have to wet sand some of the lights that have been pitted really bad....

my tool of choice for doing the lights.... http://www.autogeek.net/griots-orbital-polisher.html

So let's try this one last time, shall we???

Ordered Centric conversion, front and rear brake hoses (Centric front and Dorman rear) and replacing the last factory ball joint... ordered the Moog upper.

I think my shocks are not tightened to speck with would justify the hard pounding ride and weird noises I hear on occasion. My dad is going to go in on a 500lb/lbs electric impact wrench with me since our compressor is older and electric fits our needs better. It's about 350 off amazon. One of my friends from highschool has offered to help before and this time I'm taking him up in it. He does all the work himself and we are going to over haul my truck next Friday. Also since I'm on vacation for a week and a half, the first few days (starts next week on thursday) will be completely undercoated. I bought a quart of Por-15 and all the prep so I'll use that on the frame and suspension components. I found a product that is well reviewed called Zero-Rust witch is cheaper and seems liked more so on some autobody forums I stumbled across. It's about 80 bucks a gallon, so that should do my entire underneath. I've got my work cut out for me.

Closed yesterday, got a huge honey-do list as well as moving everthing. Just the tip of the iceberg at this point. But we're both happy

Interesting Patrick, how your mind works. I was saying that maybe you had sold Fiddy, not Sarah.
