Small update... As you can see not a whole lot completed on the car. Mike Kelly and I have been working our tales off just getting the aftermarket parts fitted and its been a slow process to say the leasts . So this leads me to a slight redirection on the project. Time to work on the car has become a major issue , 90 to 100 hour work weeks and only working on the car on Sundays isn't cutting it any more. Also tring to learn tig welding has slowed everything to a stand still. I look at the work ahead of me and I have to figure out how to get it moving a little faster. So I e-mailed Troy at BBT fabrications to see if he would be interested in doing the final gapping and a few other things I want to get done. This will allow me to finish getting the car fitted and welded withot worring about what I'm going to destroy doing the final detail work. I went through 3 sets of outter wheel houses just to weld two straight lines ! I can't do this when I have the quarter panels welded up! I'll go broke buying new quarters!!! I'm not happy about this but I fell this is my best option to keep everthing moving forword..

Tough to let it go obviously Mario, but seems to be a win/win situation.

Looking forward to seeing some more of Troy's handiwork. :thumbsup:

Do what you have to do....you can only do so much yourself with work weeks like that! :cheers:

Brother I feel your making the right decision.

Do what you do best and let the people that do the specialty stuff do what they do. In the end it's a project and no matter who does the work it still feels good when you look at the end product.

BTW - You Drive I buy lunch when we hit Troys.

Mario Smart man to realizes there's only so much time in a day and you can't stretch it. No matter how hard you try. It will be a much more enjoyable build without the stress trying to fit it in your busy schedule. We will still need updates, your not getting off that easy!

Well said Wayne!!Troy just replied to my e-mail I will be talking to him real soon... I fell more comfortable with this the more I think about it. Marty get ready for the road trip!!:cheers:

Mario...You're making progress and that's the important thing. I do think it wise to farm out a bit of the work though. Keep at it. It'll pay off.

:thumbsup:

Oh......and I want a ride as soon as it's done! :D
