Hey, Billy, Bill, and I will come down and bring fold up chairs and an easy-up, supervise your build to make sure you do everything right. All you have to do is keep us hydrated with drink of choice. I have a kegerator I could fit two kinds in Oh, and Billy likes Cheez-its on hand. We should have a few weeks in June open in the schedule...

Looking good Jeff. 81 days

Aaron,

I have plenty of beer drinking friends that sit around and watch me work....I need the working kind to help out. That countdown is concerning me......grrr, not enough time in the day!!

Quick update...............

- Front brakes installed
- Engine/trans mounted
- Wiper transmission and DSE wiper motor installed
- All weatherstripping installed
- Headliner getting installed today
- Windshield and moldings installed tomorrow
- Started install of noise/heat matting

Should have the car back from my buddies interior shop (doing headliner) on Saturday morning, then jumping on the brake and fuel lines. Next up...wiring!! Motorstate is closing in fast Still waiting on a few parts but have plenty to work on until they show up...time is the problem, I just have too many plates spinning this year. Man, my timing to build this car really sucks, someday I will learn......but I suspect it wont be anytime soon

I just have to give a shout out to Billy Utley, you rock dude!! Thanks for all of your help, you have saved me SOOOO much time. You and your dad are just such quality people. I would hug you, but Ron and Aaron would be jealous, you know how they get LOL

You are moving right along. Seriously considering coming up to MotorState just to hang out and see your car run...not that is any pressure or anything.

Quick update......

Brake lines are completed, had to order a bunch of stuff for the fuel system plumbing so I moved back to installing the sound/heat matting. Hope to get the doors assembled with regulators and glass over the next week or so along with laying out all of the wiring Still a long way to go and time is getting short........

Not to mention I may have just sold my house and will have to deal with moving.....UGH, I did not think in this market we would sell it in one day!! The interim house we bought does have a detached garage, but it is not finished and no lift... Back to jack stands!!! The wife wants to all but gut the new place...like I don't have enough going on At this rate, Motorstate may just be a dream. The saga continues.......

I'll try and post some pics of the car when I get some free time LOL
