Time to get busy! There are some fab items I will need to outsource but I spent the evening evaluating and unpacking. This Satruday is my first opportunity to dig in so check back Monday...:)

Finding time...ugg. I'm in So America in two weeks, the Northeast end of April and midwest/San Diego in May. :bang:

Lenie 03-27-2013 01:16 PM

Ron, might as well start a second build w/all those parts eh:action-smiley-027: Car looks great, but sounds like your car may take time due to travels. What are you doing in San diego in May, I'll be there at the end of May for a family wedding. Best of luck.

I found that whole work thing got in the way of my social calendar.... so just retired. :snapout: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Richio1 03-27-2013 02:19 PM

Yeeeee Haaaaa

I've been wondering what the latest was on your build Ron. Good to see she's home but it sucks that you will be traveling so much.

Here's an idea :idea: ... since Weld is retired :G-Dub: and seems to have a lot of free time on his hands, maybe he could come down to sunny So Cal and get things buttoned up for ya while you are traveling out making money for gas and rear tires. :lmao:

ccracin 03-27-2013 03:16 PM

It's great you are taking the next step toward completion! I can't wait to see it done! Good stuff buddy! :popcorn2:

Hey Lenie! Yes, it will take some time. No predictions though, just move as fast as I can. I'll be in SD for a conference the 15 - 17th, but if our timing is off we should still meet up :idea:

Jeff I believe you have to marry someone with a Weld last name to get that level of service, but I like the way you think!

Good deal on getting your car home. If ya need anything I'm close :thumbsup:

GregWeld 03-27-2013 04:40 PM

I had to come back from a very nice area (as compared to Seattle) to work on my buddy Pierre's '56.... and I'm thinking this is about the last time I volunteer to spend a couple months of my life working on someone else's stuff....


But ya know.... the poor guy has waited a few years to complete this bad boy as it is... so maybe I'll recover and change my mind after Pierre's is done. :welder: :lol: :lol:

Who do I have to marry? :D JK Sir! I'm honored. :thankyou: :hail:

I really must say though, be careful (!), you're in danger of ruining your reputation! :lol:

tones2SS 03-27-2013 05:21 PM

Wow, looks great Ron. That is a garage full of parts, no doubt.
The natives are getting restless.

GregWeld 03-27-2013 05:25 PM

I'm happy that things are all coming together.... it's great to see that pile of parts and know that in just a little while longer she'll be a running drivin' machine!

She'll come together...

Vegas69 03-27-2013 07:34 PM

Have to be honest, I don't see where you have time to finish off your car. Between work, family, and your lateral-g addiction, I mean hobby. :lol: Find somebody to polish that thing off and get on to your next build already....

Sounds familiar huh Ron?

fleet 03-28-2013 06:56 AM

Ron,

The nice thing is when you do finish it, your leftover 'quality new parts' will then be 'quality vintage parts'. And you can sell those for waaaayyy more!

The biggest vintage cache though will be all them 'vintage' wheel's...

So ya got yerself a win-win siduashun here.

Maybe I'll start a company. I could call it 'Classic Industries'??? :snapout:

Non-profit of course, benefiting all the elderly and deprived minority muscle addicts.

Todd has a great point Ron!!! I found myself in the same situation NO TIME!! I really thought I could get my car done on my own at first. 100+ hours a week don't leave a lot of time to work on the car. The best decision I ever made was to leave the car at Troy's for him to finish the fab work. Now I'm going to have him start the first round of body work to even help me get a little further along. I will be painting the car myself though that's for sure...

MisterD 03-28-2013 09:20 AM

Looking good Ron! I'd say I could lend a hand to finish but I'm in the same boat as you, all work and no play at the moment. No worries, it WILL get done...

Good news Ron. I hope you find room in you schedule to squeeze some garage time in between your travels. :thumbsup:

Greg from Aus 03-28-2013 03:30 PM

Great to see as others have said Ron, It's a real shame life gets in the way of what we really want to do, that is of course unless you are Mr :welder: .

214Chevy 03-30-2013 06:54 AM

Run, quick question. I noticed the way the roll cage is built in the back with a bar going diagonally across . Are you going to have a back seat? I know you are going to track the car alot, just asking since it getting close to interior time.

I agree Mario. There just will be no time in the next 60 days and beyond to try and get the car moving forward as quickly as I'd like. I've got a few things I can knock out though and will see how far I get. Appreciate the advice for sure.

No back seat Marcus. The diagonal bar is removable for storage and whatnot. It'll be interesting to see how many times I actually take it out...

Matt@BOS 03-30-2013 08:01 AM

Hey Ron, it's Saturday, if you're reading this, get to work on the car!
