i worked on the car alot in december just didnt post.
i did finish my qtr panel...most of the car is wetsanded primer..
i had to get a new job last week..i was in the construction industry and i had it pretty good the last few years.its now a dead industry here.ive been out of work for about 3 months.i had to sell the ls1/4l60 to help make it through...that sucked but i needed the money. so i was lucky and found a "decent" job about a week and a half ago.not the money im use to but its was the best i have been able to find.
i am building a body cart. i have the steel and casters..i just found a deal on a travel trailer frame/dual axle setup that i will modify to haul my car around and ill pick it up this weekend.so nowthe plan is to save and buy some paint and spray it so i can start putting the car together.i dont know what im gonna do for a motor/trans at this point .i wont have the money to replace the ls1 combo.last year i was able to buy whatever i needed for the most part but now its about just trying to survive and squeek out a rolling car .i just cant seem to give up no matter how things go.even if it wont turn out as i had planned.
all you guys have helped push me to keep on trying and i have never wanted to give up.sometimes it seemed like the thing to do but after almost 6 years having this car i cant stop no matter how tough things are.i want to be able to turn the key and drive this thing one day ,just to say i never gave up.
where there is a will there is a way as the saying goes.

Congrats on the job! As for the 6 years... not to worry, I've been "building" my 442 for over 13, including painting it twice!

Shiny Side Up!
