Gosh Scotty, wish i lived a little closer, I would be there helping you as much as you needed.


chris you should start your apprentice-ship now, so when you retire from the USMC in a couple years you can already have you OJT done and go to work FT with 914's- its your dream!!!! Scotty could use your help! especially since Bill H. keeps buying these projects- he's going to need the help!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) DING floor is done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Jim and I both orderd sheet metal form resto design and neither of us thought about the e-brake " tunnel" so I took a piece of his old floorpan and made one up. Not perfect, but not bad for 20 min and a piece of old metal (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Everything got sanded, wiped down, etch rimed, seam sealed, primed, and got a coat of black. Then the underside and longs got a couple coats of undercoating

I stopped by Scotty's shop last week on thursday on my way to D.C. and saw this car, ( and M.Epstein's) and in just a few days i am amazed at how much he just got done on this , WOW.

keep the pictures coming, cant wait to see how much you have done on that thing by the tranny clinic in april!!! wow! keep it going.

Scotty- was great to meet you last week, thanks for the info, and see you in 2 months.

- i will be taking off my rockers so we can see how bad mine is- i've been in denial about it but, after seeing jim's car, i dont think it will be any worse that that! -- (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) - thats a lot of (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

I find it amazing you can be looking at a piece of shiny metal and poke it with a screwdriver and it goes right through, or start jacking the car up and the top of the jack goes through... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

maybe- but i think you should say Scotty will be my best friend, and Restoration design and close second (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

actually i know my jack points are as bad if not WORSE than yours- they are pretty bad. i thought our cars were made to flex when going around corners and over bumps to help absorb shock (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) but i guess not.

My mask is neoprene. Silly person.

Actually, I don't think Michael made any of those metal sculptures. His idea of metal work is choosing the stripper with the most sparkles on.

It's called glitter, Dave - not sparkles, glitter.
