Wayne,

Just read the whole thread. You're VERY patient! Looks great though.

I was in Charlotte for a couple of days and called Mike's place to see if I could stop in. Didn't mention your car. But had to leave a message, no one to answer the phones. A girl called back and said call back in two months, he's too busy to talk to anyone or take on any work. Maybe he's learned a lesson.

I<m with them on the ''No cover'' The cover to rub against the paint will go thru it so quickly with the wind moving it against it you will be in need of a repaint when you get home!!

DON'T DO IT!! (just enjoy the tumbs up all the way home.....

)

One question if i may, are you going to drive that car when done or if its a show car to rest on a turn table? I mean, protection of the undercarriage form the road? It will get there soon, is it maybe just cause you want to keep it super sano just for the time your putting it together? Just curious...

Did you ever tought about putting a bed lining kinda protection instead? You know you can get them tinted the colour of your car right? It would be as nice as painted but would not chip from road time. Now's the time to do it on a rotisserie at home! The grain is so small with some of them products it looks VERY very nice..... you would get your cake and be able to take a bite of it at the same time... Just sayin. (plus painted undercarriage is for street rods wussies lol!! j/k i'm just jealous!)

Cant wait to see it, you deserve it! You are one patient dude!

Lead.

Thanks eveyone. I just wanted to protect it from the 900 mile ride home.
Lead; I am going to drive it I just don't want to kick up a piece of a tire or something big and wreck it before it gets home.

The car isn't painted though, its just in primer correct?

Nothing much to speak of I'm still on to go get the car next week. I noticed I will need a certain type of U Haul trailer. Some have pieces of the ramp that stick up on the two center parts of the ramp and I don't want to get there and have them hit the bottom of the car. I know with no drive train and interior it will be higher than normal. But with the way this has been going I'm not taking any chances.
I'm excited to go get it and other times after going through this Blah! I hope I come around when it gets here.
With the price of gas I need to float a loan to go for it. lol
