Time for the interior of the A pillar to get the same treatment.
See what I mean… Almost there.
After a couple hours of buffing… I thought a good cleaning was in order…
Everything’s nice and organized… =)
Chop Shop | Scrubbin’
That’s pretty much all I’ve been doing.
So here’s the inside of the A pillar… It was more pitted than the exterior side…
Close up – before.
After an hour of scrubbin… I laid down some polish to see how far along I was.
Better… but still not there.
Chop Shop | Summer Shoes
So they’re finally on… I’m prit-tay prit-tay happy.
Notice the cozy for my sewing machine… yeah… that’s what I wanted to focus on.
I like.
On another note… I’m almost done one A pillar… almost…
I just dropped bri back to the tele… decided to shoot a few things… this was probably the only one in focus and had enough lighting… ha
Chop Shop | Gouge is gone
So I did a lil’ bit of sanding and polishing yesterday…
5 mins in…
10 – 15 mins in… my arms were prettay prettay tired.
Almost there!… Although I do like the satin finish… I believe the factory finish was mirror… or at least very close to mirror… getting it to that finish will kind of suck.
And… it’s gone.
Chop Shop | A pillar
So I’m finally back to work…
Here’s a closer shot of that bent trim and gouge…
Rubber door seal off.
Look at all that gunk…
All clean… Next….

Sightings | James Cameron…
“Curiousity… it’s the most powerful thing you own… Imagination… is a force that can actually manifest a reality…… Don’t put limitations on yourself… other people will do that for you… don’t do that to yourself… don’t bet against yourself… and… and… take risks… Nasa has this phrase that they like…”failure’s not an option”… but failure HAS to be an option… in art and in exploration… because it’s a leap of faith… and no important endeavor that required innovation was done without risk… you have to be willing to take those risks… so.. that’s the thought I would leave you with… is that in whatever you’re doing… Failure IS an option… but Fear is not.”

Aujourd’hui | Wilena
Wil et Elena dropped by for the longweekend… I was shooting them all of yesterday… We’ve done a bit of everything… even work! But honestly… with the right company… you can have fun doing anything… even stats.
Wilena walking into their favourite spot… thanks for coming to visit guys.
Chop Shop | Off…
With a lot of convincing, the frame’s finally off…
This is what 43 years looks like… what a mess.
Now time for cleaning…
and fixing…lots of nicks and scratches… or gouges and bends… however you choose to look at it…
The aftermath… everything’s on the table… Can’t wait to get the front end back together.
