 :working: Still working on the car.  I had my 727 trans rebuilt $$.  Ordered my Holley Street Dominator intake.  Restored most of the chrome.  Next will be paint and installing motor and trans.  Will post update pics soon.  Thanks again to everyone for their advice and help it has been priceless.

 :working: Found out today my job is not going to be done away with.   :money:  The car will be easier to complete.  Recieved my bumpers back from Tri City Plating yesterday :bigsmile:, they did an awsome job.  Found my bumper gaurds finally, I can now have them chromed.  I can't wait to take a drive in it but don't know how long that will be, (hopefully before summer is over).  I would like to thank everyone on here for the advice and suggestions.  They are priceless to guys like me, learning as I go.   I guess if you aim at nothing you will hit it everytime.

I have been sweating it lately but we just negotiated a new 3 year contract that gives us a 4.5% raise the first year and 3 the second. I think its 3 the third also. Hey I know its not much but its better than a kick in the head.

Good for you BB71, always good to know you have a job these days.  My job is suppose to be safe for two years at least.  My car is coming along, not as fast as I would like.  $$$$  I will post some more pics soon.
