Been sandblasting today. Might get to painting all parts necessary to reassemble hubs and attach to axle. USB port on my mac isn't working so no pics today.

You are getting dangerously close to having nothing left to do but put it all back together....! Scary!

So.....................................whatever happened with the body work?

You know I am a Cert. Apple Technical Coordinator... I work on macs... Are you sure it is the usb port? If it is, it would be a whole logic board. PM if you want some help. I think we all need to see these pictures!

iphone charges with the wall plug but my mac doesn't see it when I plug it in. Truthfully it hasn't been a priority lately but hopefully I'll come up with something soon. As far as the paint...................*sigh*.............the body has been sitting in a lonely storage unit so I could cool down. I did nothing to pursue legal action because the guy said he would go after two of the guys that helped me pick it up (incidentally, it turns out they were on probation, how he found that out I have no idea). Some friend I am dragging my buddies into a potential brawl. So we'll chalk it up to lesson learned and move on. I went to a car show today and spoke with every owner that had what I considered an impressive paint-job, turns out $15,000 paint jobs impress me...huh, interesting. So the jury's still out on what to do there.

iPhone's back in business! Turns out that when you use your laptop mostly in the shop, it pays to clean it up every so often. Go figure. I'm off to pick up new tie rod ends (destroyed the old ones taping them out).

Sandblasting went well yesterday, humidity finally dropped enough. Will be POR-15ing those parts tomorrow. Should have everything painted then to be able to reattach the hubs to finish the front axle assembly. Also driveshafts, fuel tank gaurd, and P/S mount. If I get another good day soon I be blasting the frame finally.

Awesome. Can't wait to see this thing start getting put back together. Just in time for next summer, eh?

Although you I guess you don't get much of a winter there.

Oh gosh it's been in the 40's at night lately, almost time to get out my old military parka. BTW something weird going on here, I can't upload photos to Yotatech from my mac here. I used to do it all the time, in fact all the photos I have on here I did that way. Now it says it doesn't recognize the file format. Slim chance I'll figure it out, maybe I need to review the newbie section or something. If I keep up current momentum I really think I'll have a rolling chassis in December!

Huh...There's definitely someone around here who could help you with that. I would guess it's probably a common thing.

Got the chassis all back together, looks pretty. Still can't upload photos. When I try to load photo's to yotatech I get this message:
Unable to read the format of file: /var/www/html/yotatech.com/httpdocs/gallery/data/500/medium/IMG_0546.JPG
I'll try taking pictures on my other camera later today, maybe Apple changed something on my iPhone. Today I plan to reassemble the front hubs and get em greased up.

Cool. Can't wait to see it...

I don't know much about Macs, unfortunately.
