Hey Dan, et al.,

   Finished the panel beating on the front valence
tonight and got a coat of matte black on the back
side.  Once that's cured I'll surface the front side,
apply a pebble-coating and get a coat of primer on it.
 At that point I can set it aside to cure while I work
on the rest of the front body.  Sorry, no pictures of
this yet.  Perhaps tomorrow evening...

   Its therapy for me.  I have three projects going
right now: 
(1) I need to replace the brakes (rotors, pads and
sensors) on all four corners of my Mercedes SL500
daily driver.  Because its my daily, I have to do this
all in one setting - over a weekend.
(2) I need to finish the interior restoration of the
308GTB.  Everything is done but the doors.  The
driver's door is 90% done, needing only reassembly,
while the other door has seen zero progress.
(3) The MGB resurrection continues to occupy my spare
time.

Yes.  I have the right-front axle disassembled but not
the suspension - yet.  Its just a matter of nor having
gotten to it yet.

Thanks Dan.

Is this a driver or a daily driver?  I suspect that
the Audi is the daily driver.

Heck yea!  I just love my M-B SL500, albeit
two-wheel-drive but it is the REAR two-wheels, as Rudy
intended!

I guess I should set up a blog some day.  Right now I
just own a domain with a bunch of rented disk space
filled with pictures.  I just use that space as an
off-site storage location for pictures - and a place
to share.
