Hey Doug Wow sounds like you can see the light at the end finally :bighug: :clap:

Cant wait to see it :happy:

Rob
Yes they are strong Im sure I wont have any problems reusing them. Like you said though probably could have gotten new ones with Ball Joints for not much more though.

He has the new one now and all the Ball joints was supposed to drop them off today but I guess He forgot AGAIN. Im gonna remind him when the Project misses its completion date remmember all those times I was waiting on you to drop off/deliver parts?

I had a problem with storage volumn on photobucket Doug, but they did send me an e-mail requesting a payment or I would be stuck. So I paid and all was good, other than keep changing the stupid thing so I don't how to use it. I used to be able to e-mail a direct link to one picture and now you do that and the entire album gets sent, stupid :knockout:

Really looking forward to some pics Doug!

Hopefully the guy is smart enough to know you can't finish the car if he doesn't give you the parts Dennis. Keep tabs on how much he delayed you so you can give him an earfull if he starts squaking later.

I got a drywall guy coming out on the weekend to give me a quote, hopefully get started in a couple weeks, can't wait. I want some heat in there, it's been rather winter like here lately, even had a bit of snow a few days ago.

My shop is only 1500 sq ft, isn't yours the size of an airport hanger :rockon: The cost of sheet rock just went crazy for some reason, I read about it but I don't recall what the reason was. Doing a shop the size of yours would be pricey.

That looks freakin awesome Doug :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

Can't wait to see it all assembled :happy: :happy:

I think Dennis cursed me when he asked me about snow in early Nov and I said we rarely get any. Started snowing early Dec and we still have half a foot of it left and it's snowing again :knockout:

I'm just working on the shop, getting it setup the way I want, slow going so far :neutral:

Hey Rob
Sorry about the Curse But I kinda figured your good weather had about ran out on ya lol.

I'm Sick really bad sick with pneumonia wish I could say I was getting better but I am not so sure hard to tell or too early to tell yet. I am still vertical so that's a Plus.

Not much to report on chevell project lack of time off and lack of interest when I do get a little time off and now I am sick progress is slow, although I did get the last of the suspension torn down and blasted clean before I got sick its all ready for a coat of Black epoxy.

You better be taking it easy Dennis, pneumonia can really wipe you out.

Apperently this has been the coldest winter here since 1943, still not bad at all compared to anywhere east of us, but spring can't come soon enough.
.
Hopefully I'll have most of the shop done in a month or so

Ya It is nasty worse case I have ever had I am getting close to end of treatment breathing not getting much better may end up in hospital yet whether I like it or not. I am staying indoors resting taking my pills and doing breathing treatments regularly.

Mean while I am stuck inside on this computer like years ago surfing the net doing things I have put off like calling a few people and sending emails about Old business issues I had with colleagues of mine from my past and it may have proven to be fruitful, The wheels of Justice may have started turning in my direction. I shall see how it plays out in the next few days, But I can't help being excited.

Dennis so sorry to hear you are sick. Pneumonia is nasty. Hope you are better now? “ it may have proven to be fruitful, The wheels of Justice may have started turning in my direction. I shall see how it plays out in the next few days, But I can't help being excited.” So what was this about? Did you get some good news?

Rob, we have been having strange weather here also in the form of rain and wind. Last Sunday we has a downpour with high wind which causes a major roof leak. Insurance is wanting to settle for pennies on the dollar so I think we are in for a fight.

Haven’t had much time with the car but it’s all color sanded final with 2000 and partially buffed and its looking real good actually GREAT!!!!
