Hope everyone is doing well! Been an interesting few months around here, we decided to move and build a new house so I've lost my shop for now. Living in our rental...3 car garage. So I'm working on jack stands for now. Yeah, that's some first world problem BS complaining...right!! Certainly not lost on me, but still it's a pain at my age! More to come, I've got some catching up to do.

Hey, I sympathize with you John, I'm in the same boat. However I did finally pull the trigger on a lift and am getting it next week. Working off the ground sucks when you're used to having a large shop and lift.

Congrats on the new house!

Oh man,
Projects are hard enough without moving parts…twice.
Good luck with the new house and hope all your parts and pieces make their way with you!

Way back when I did the new rockers and the inner fenders, I had one of those brain switched off moments. I did this weird intersection having the to-be-painted-bodycolor rocker facing the tire. Dumb.

So I corrected. Cut out the rocker cap and recessed it back.

Extremely fortunate that I have some great friends...close friend has a local hot rod shop and he has very graciously offered to let me work on my car at his shop for a while, Kenny's Rod Shop. Beyond awesome. Access to every tool you could imagine and the best part is he and his guys are super talented and always looking after me with hands, help and killer advice. Kid in a candy store.

Had it transported a couple weeks ago. Only the second time she has been on the ground with shoes on.

First task was to template the rocker skirts. Always had this concept in mind but again having experts standing next to me with "move it 1/4" or "instead of a 1" radius try 1 1/8". Some next level advice!!

That's awesome!

Good luck with the move, John. Hope it's not too far away.

Car looks great sitting on its wheels.
