What Did You Do To Your G-Body Today? [2020]

Here’s a pic of the factory lines I put on my Bonneville.

Removed passenger door panels upper and lower. Coated inside the door with rust preventive paint (undercaoting). Removed weatherstripping and prepped for new weatherstripping. Currently have entire interior out and replacing old seam sealer with new seam sealer. Re-doing entire interior. Taking my time with it. Also painted various exterior trim pieces.

I might have to pick your brains in a few weeks. I am gathering all the parts that I need to do my doors also. I already have the power window and door lock conversion kits, water seals, window felts, weatherstripping, reproduction interior door handles, upper hinges for both sides, and lower panels. Still need to get the upper panels, and decide if I should do the lower hinges while the doors are off. Also, I am wondering if I decided to get keyless remote for the locks, whether I need to do that at the same time or if they can be added later without messing up the door panels. Since the car is still a driver, I am hoping to get the doors finished before end of summer.

In the short amount of time that I have until it starts snowing I had to use a quick coat of primer, other wise yes a sealer would have been better. Then again with this virus scare, and the fact I have to get up at 2am in the morning to get ready for work it's the best I can do for now.

2am? Are you a morning news reporter?
I thought I was an early riser at 330am.

I hope you removed the plastic film from it, ha-ha, you don't want to be inhaling melting plastic.

Yes sir, a friend I sent that same pic to texted me the same exact comment, minus the "melting plastic" part! LMAO

Finally made a proper bracket for the oil catch can. The 1st wonky azz unit was cause I needed something quick.
Went nextdoor and used the cool tools to fab a nice clean bracket. Drilled holes, painted and done!....

Left is obviously old bracket....

Today?? Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Bupkus. Rien. Called in to work.

I made the Pig squeal into triple digits...... twice. At least gas is cheap for a minute.

I realized I had enough room on the pass side to open the door. Sorry mower for sitting outside tonight.
I got the door watershield and insulation installed. Now waiting on the upholstery shop to finish my panels. He was spoda be done a couple weeks ago, but we all know how that goes.

Fresh off a 16 hour drive back home, swapped my engine mounts around (combination of me hurrying last time, plus the part numbers on the mounts don't correspond to anything and they are very similar to each other) and bolted the engine up for the last time, hopefully. I got 2 more bellhousing bolts in (i'll do the top 2 later, ground strap and dipstick bolt), got the starter on and hooked up, checking over the wiring. fiddly stuff like that. I want to have all the underneath stuff done first. I also installed a new M/S and reservoir. My engine got to swingin when I was putting it in and knocked the old reservoir clean off and put a hairline crack in it. It's one that a Dodge dealer I used to work at installed and ruined in the process, so I was happy to finally have it gone. that's about it. work's been cancelled until the 6th, so I have some free time on my hands. but knowing Iowa it will snow 2 feet tomorrow, be a messy floody mushy shitshow the rest of the week, and be 75*f, dry and sunny the 6th.
