I think Ill have time tomorrow to post an update and show pictures. Dennis, sounds like progress on the job is well, , , , lacking so sorry, maybe one of these days you will get a real good challenging job and get paid well for it. Rob "dry wall" common man, - - -, you have a bad back... a great reason to write checks I know I use it occasionally
it needs to be lowered with big and littles. .

I'm looking forward to the updates with pics Doug, none of us have provided much to view in quite a while
I would have loved to farm the drywall job out but I just have way too many jobs to do around here to get into that habit. My wallet would be bled dry I'm also on the roof scraping moss off and then spraying it, what fun, but they charge a grand to do it so I'm just picking away at it. Plus my daughter is getting married in a week so we've been busy with that, and it wasn't free either Looking forward to getting back on track with the Stang soon. Rob

Looking really good Doug, that really is a heavy duty looking piece! Hopefully you're just about out of the woods on the suspension from hell, you sure have had your hands full with that

Wow Doug very impressive
How do you figure out shock length with those bars you have installed for shocks? Seen other car builders do that and I know it has to do with setting ride height but don't know how to do dat goes beyond my current knowledge. Job is ok I am able to work from home 3 days a week and a new guy is starting this week so I may even get some days off soon and get back to my cars soon I hope. One of the guys with a hard on to fire me in my first week was told not to come back this week, And yes it was in part from another run in with me and my brutal honesty and experience guy just cant take any criticism and has a very vindictive personality fortunately my Boss likes & trusts me and my experience & does go to bat for me. I'm suspect the other guy wont be around long either. The company is going through big changes right now. Rob I too have a TON of house work to to do too, I too cant write checks as often as I like but I have to admit when contractors bid it fairly I open up that book quickly. Dennis B.

The job sounds a lot better Dennis, being able to work from home a few days a week sure sweetens the pot and getting rid of a couple cancers there is also a bonus, don't need guys like that.
Really hard to get any contractor to show up around here for smaller jobs even if you wanted and I'm in a hurry to boot. Besides the more I can save on that the more I'll have for the cars But I must admit I hate drywalling more than pretty much anything Rob

Looks freakin awesome Doug!
It's really coming along now, hopefully fitting the body won't add much grief, you've done a fair bit of that already I believe so maybe it will go more smoothly than these things usually do. Rob

Very impressive work Doug
love how you solved the problem fitting the Rack & pinion with the frame notches. Are you going to use a Corvette style mono leaf spring or Coil overs or air bags in the rear? Were you going to mount your fuel tank? Dennis B.
