Car looks awesome Doug, pictures worked perfectly. Good to know you're ok, we were starting to worry.

I have so much to do before this place is done, I try not to think too much about it or I get overwhelmed :splat:

Ya don't be getting sick Dennis, no fun in that and who has time to be sick :flatten:

Hey Doug
Car looks good so its going together for the last time now?

Ya I got the 98 Vett I have to get the engine out and fix it. I didn't get a newer one settled on the GTO It was a whole lot cheaper than the BMW or the ZO6 and every time I found a ZO6 I liked enough to buy some one would buy it out from under me. I found the GTO with low mileage and I got a warranty with it and its some sort of rare purple color they only made a few of.

You guys doing anything? Your car must be close to done Doug? and how's the Chevelle coming along Dennis? I'm still doing endless siding and trying to organize all the stuff that I'm unpacking. I did take a break from it yesterday to do some work on my Riv. It must have been rear ended at some point in it's life, the filler over the repair had started separating so there was a big flap of it pulling away. I ground down the back panel to nice clean metal and will redo it. No way to blend the paint so I'm not going to worry about it. When the time comes I have to restore the body anyway. This just stops a future disaster.

I'm getting closer every day, seems like I'm going to have it driveable every week then something else pops up. very frustrating. I'll bring it home without an interior but everything in place to keep the upholstery shop (not sure who yet) from having to guess. Latest challenge is having the air horn 3-1/4" away from the fan housing.. have some custom work to do to have it breathe, house the MAF sensor,air cleaner and still have it look kool :flatten: :knockout: :knockout: :knockout: :rolleyes:

Dennis I haven't kept up did you get the job by LAX, new car?

Rob are you drywalled in and have a boothe. I keep trying to talk my wife into coming up there again, how is the weather in November, Fall colors?

Sorry no pictures i'm having trouble with photobucket. :realmad: :realmad:
it needs to be lowered with big and littles. .

We've been wondering where you've been Doug, unfortunately your photobucket still isn't working by the looks of it. No where near getting the booth done, still a mile of siding and soffits to do :knockout: Not to mention unpacking, we had a lot of stuff :splat:

I picked up a new ride though, 28 Dodge, I'll post pics once I get the pics uploaded

Oops had to pop back for an edit, forgot to mention the Nov weather, fall colors depending on where you are, lots of evergreens here. Typically rainy and cold especially the 2nd have of Nov. Weather the last couple of years has been really weird, not a drop of rain all summer and a ton of snow last winter so hard to say what's coming?
