I want to publicly thank my guys!! For those of you who don't know the story, we are all part timers all of us work full time day jobs!! And then moonlight at the shop at night and weekends. So all this work has been done after most folks are at home watching football and having a beer on the couch. I personally can't wait to get this thing done, to have some time off and see the family again!! lol

- Jerry (my father in law and go to guy for anything mechnical or fab wise) thanks for all you've done, from fabrication to helping me keep my head straight and keep my eye on the prize and get this thing done!

- Josh (cousin, painter and body man) for working long hours in the shop, getting the bodywork done, and the car in paint! Don't know where we'd be without what you've done!

- Wayne (friend, who runs a local body shop) for coming out the last couple of weeks after work and helping us to get the bodywork done... and doing it just because you liked the meaning of what we were doing!

- Alan (new friend, also a local body guy) thanks for stepping in and helping out last week with the body! Coming on in the middle of the build, not knowing any of us and being a true professional and helping knock this thing out!! A true friend you now are!

GREAT POST -- and whenever I talk about cars etc to people that don't understand -- I ALWAYS tell them "it's about PEOPLE not the cars"...
