12/8/2011- Continued work on PS Front window assembly.  Rust problem as well as movement.  Will need to locate lower window channel. Aligned doors.  Cleaned more overspray from dash and steering wheel. Finished installing PS Headlight bezel. Installed front fender molding-passenger & drivers side. Installed hood medallion.

12/13/2011- Grumble grumble. Had some glass cut for the passenger front.  They didn't have the right tape to set it and they may have cut glass a little too thick. Yikes! Assembled but it didn't go well.  Have to vacate the garage as my friend has renters coming in. Packed up all the parts and supplies, moved the compressor home.  Will tow car back to Becky's on Thursday and then scrub down the garage.  Tired and sore. LOL

12/15/2011- Towed Checker back to Becky's garage.  Thank God for John's help as it was a bear to back in. Loaded the last of parts and supplies and scrubbed down Isa's garage floor.  Using his garage for painting was a lifesaver.

12/20/2011- Installed front bumper, bumper guards, license plate bracket and fog lights.  Adjusted PS rear door.  New sign Thanks Joe!
