Angry Well ain't that a Beeeoch....

The shop that was painting my 70 GTO, which was in business last week when I went by there...

WENT OUT OF BUSINESS!! AND GUESS WHAT! MY HOOD, FENDERS AND ENDURA ARE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The hardest stuff to find too. crap.



Oh well, here is a joke to cheer me up.




"A week after their marriage, the redneck newlyweds, Clyde and Arlene, paid a visit to their doctor. "You ain't gonna believe this, Doc," said the husband. "My thingy's turnin' blue."

"That's pretty unusual," said the doctor. "Let me examine you."

The doctor takes a look. Sure enough, the redneck's "member" really was blue.

The doctor turns to the wife, "Are you using the diaphragm that I prescribed for you?"

"Yep, shore am," she replied brightly.

"And what kind of jelly are you using with it?"

"Grape", she said.

It can always be worse, but it's still wrong that they screwed you like that. Couldn't they have called you?

Sorry to hear..

I have two close buddies that are "friends" with the owner. I have spoke to them this evening and they are in full search mode. I am going to see my friend at the Sheriffs office tomorrow if I do not hear from him(the owner) tomorrow. And, yes, he could have called me. Somebody could have called me.

Steve, this was my build it for less than 10K convertible IE trade for this and that and spend as little as possible. If I don't find my front end sheetmetal (he also removed the interior-I was going to run late model GTO seats fr/r) my projected goal of less than 10K is shot.
