John S's Journal

I’ve had it out for a short rip around the neighborhood but without it being insured so it was a very cautious shakedown drive. The weather was forecast to be nice until the evening when heavy rains were due. With that in mind, I got it out of the garage and went over it with the polisher and snapped some photos that I’ll need to submit to Hagerty. Still haven’t got the front valance painted. I got the majority of the damage out with the hammer and dolly but need to prime it, fill it and get some paint on it.
The bumper was wonky mainly in the areas where the overriders bolt on but I used a rubber mallet and some wood blocks to straighten things back out. Not perfect but a definite improvement. It’s supposed to be rainy for several days so I’m glad I got it out and cleaned up when I did.
