I come in to check on some things and see 59 members, 21 guests and 1 annonomous user online. Its Monday in the middle of the day. Doesnt anybody work anymore? If everyone is off, how come nobody volunteered to come help me get the car going? I am starting to think I am not going to get it done in time for the WCC. We will see. As it sits right now, its up on 4 jack stands with no suspension, no gas tank, no brakes, no engine or trans, and no interior. pretty much just a shell. Tons to do and I have to work too. So if I do bring to the WCC, I will be sleeping the whole time. Could I at least get a "Good Luck"?

Today I am finishing up the yellow one I sold to get the money to do this. tomorrow I will be home from work around 1 or 2 and will be working on it the rest of the day and all free time between working. Being self employed, I get a lot of time, sometimes its not all together though. It makes it tougher that way. The weekend is about the only time I can stay on it straight through. What ya doing this weekend? I already know it will just be in primer for the event. But the body is pretty much done, I just want to make it run. I should have the rest of the parts this Friday going by tracking numbers. So this weekend it will make some good progress.

Well, here is what it looks like right now. So anything added to the car is a step in the right direction. I got almost every part to finish it. I am sure there will be the normal little crap from the local flaps but the major stuff is all here. So far I am into this car about 6500.00 and a lot of time. Here are some pictures of where its at.

Good luck!

And no, since Ace Tub & Toilet (AT&T) told me to retire a while ago, I don't go to work. And no, my car doesn't run either!

You're right, I love working on teeners, and I especially love the rides. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

But, I am at work not working.

Well, Toast know she is always welcome and you dont really need to know anything about the conversion, there is many things to do that are not related to it. The suspension and brakes, rear wheel bearings and swaybars, interior and sound system, I can do the radiator install and the hoses and finish up the engine and get it ready to go in. Tons to do. I look at it and see it happening, not all that much to do, its just time consuming. PM me if you really want to come up and help.
