I managed to get the interior painted, but haven&#8217;t been able to get the spare time to sand \/ seal \/ cover the wood floorboards. It&#8217;s spent most of the winter with the interior under tarps (and the extended awning).<\/p>\n<p>The &#8217;86 Corvette, which I still need to sell, still needs to get the paint touched up. It&#8217;s mainly been because we&#8217;ve been so busy at work that I&#8217;ve been working weekends while trying to have some kind of life outside of work.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of progress on my projects has me rather frustrated. I&#8217;ve had to remind myself frequently on the Airstream that most of the other owners I know who&#8217;re working on theirs are retired, which is why the make so much more forward progress than I have. I&#8217;m hoping to start taking some measurements on the Solstice chassis soon so I can at least mock that up in Solidworks to the extent that it may help with the Morgan&#8217;s chassis design. The sooner I get the info I need from it, the sooner I can get rid of the hunk of metal that was the Solstice and clear up some space around the place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, been asking around for the past while, and so far no luck on getting any kind of external resources for the Pontiac&#8217;s drivetrain mounting information.
