Nice looking fender Dennis, good price too. I probably forgot to mention I stumbled across a near mint right fender at the Munroe swap meet so I won't have to use the banged up one :happy: :happy:

We'll know by this Friday if the house is sold, accepted an offer last week subject to a couple of inspections so just anxiously waiting for the outcome of that. :neutral:

Hey Rob
That's great about your house! I hope your getting what you wanted out of it. You should check out that guys other listings I meant to link a few seams hes giving up on his build selling off all his parts for his 65 build.

My Renter in Mom & dads old place left me hi and dry with a filthy house broken washer machine, Broken lower panel in one of the refrigerators and a small hole in Island kitchen sub wall, Broken rear door, destroyed paint on one of the walls. Plus a heavy Wind storm did a number on a few Roof shingles. It will be a while before I get it all fixed.

Doug

SOLD, SOLD, SOLD, Yay :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

We did great on it, market up here is nutso. We got 200K more than what we had hoped for a year ago when we first started thinking about it. Good thing we weren't ready then. :goodjob:

Now it's all about packing and getting out of here, still a lot to do in that regard. :knockout:

Totally sucks about your renter. I've owned quite a number of rentals and they always end the same crappy way. As a landlord you barely have any rights, a half months rent as a damage deposit doesn't cover squat. Way to frustrating for me so I sold them for good years ago :splat:

Yes Doug, we need pics!!!! :wazzup:

Completion date is Nov 1st so I have a month to get out of here. Not too bad other than we have various commitments in Oct that will eat up a bunch of our time, at least we've been moving stuff over for about 6 months.

I don't think I'll be adding onto the shop anytime soon, used up all my brownie points with my wife to get it as big as it is :wink: I will however be building a decent paint booth in there. The buildings have been in an unfinished state for quite some time so I have a lot of work to do before I can actually work in there. Looking forward to having it all done! :drink:

I finally got that engine back into the That Kia thing I bought and got the axle back in last night going to try to finish it up today hopefully. Need it out of the way! Plus I think I have it sold for a few grand after Im done cleaning it up a bit that would help.

Well I finished that Kia engine install off and did the front end lower control arm bushings on the neighbors Saturn Ion, what a Pain in the Key-stir! dam Bolts were froze on to the inner steal part of the bushings what a Nightmare.

Now that Calvins gone he moved into town and Skip aint around any more so I bought the parts for my Quad. They both couldn't stay off of it and it pissed me off so I took it apart a few years back now Im putting it back together. After I get the Quad together Im gonna use it to pull that 70 Chevy in and get started on it. I miss using it as a tow truck It was almost like it was made for it.

Sounds like you're staying busy Dennis. It's been a year since I did anything on the Stang, how time flys when you have too much to do :knockout: :knockout:

Two weeks to moving and still busy packing and then there will be a ton of work getting the other shop up and running. Looking forward to being up there and moving forward :goodjob:
