A few posts ago John mentioned "Phoning a Friend"....well I am that friend. John's at work again and the car needed to be loaded into a trailer along with a few parts and head towards the West Coast where it is scheduled to have the body work completed and then be painted. I didn't have anything going on and Laurie was working, so I jumped on an airplane and flew out of Las Vegas at 7am on New Years Day. I spent that evening digging through boxes in Johns garage (which is smaller than it looks in pictures) and dug out the needed parts. The next morning I headed over to Johns shop and found what could have been a real problem. John had installed a pad lock on the door and there was no way to reach him and get the combo. Thankfully there's a custom motorcycle shop next door and when I told them I was stealing Johns car they where pretty quick to offer up their "lock picking skills".



With that out of the way, I had just enough time to pack a few parts into the car, wire the doors shut and secure the trunk before the truck arrived. I probably should have left all the tools in the car and added them to my collection once the car get's here. Yeah....I agreed to store it till the shop is ready for it. Not like my car is here at the moment. lol



Anyways....In it went and it should be here this weekend. Glad I was able to assist John while he's away for work and keep things progressing.
