I so wish I could offer more help than just a pep talk.  You have done such an amazing job Fishin', you are unreal, to say the least.  It will be an honor to meet you in person at Carlisle!

Primer is just not dry enough. Too humid. I'm heading home for a good supper and a good nights rest and spray it in the AM.

I've been following along on the edge of my seat, not able to do much & being blown away at all the work getting done, being a little concerned about the shop costs that have to be adding up, been trying to save up some money to buy a lot of the same stuff to reshoot my car, so i do know it adds up quick. Now I know we still need a lot of stuff for the car itself but I'm kinda thinkin we should set up a seperate (Fishins expenses)fund to start to cover his costs, end of the month will be here soon! I would like to start with 50 bucks,my car can wait another week or two, I know it aint much but we hafta start somewhere, after all he's done the last thing in the world I wanna see is him sittin on a grand or 2's worth a bills. Don't want to be negative with all the great stuff all have done, but we have to be real here, thats a lotta work someone will have to do to catch back up. What yas think, Rich.
PS whoever sets it up, just let me know where to send it, pay pal or money order will be fine by me. Rich.

 :2thumbs: Rich I think personally that's a great idea and a genuine gesture. One of the mods. should be able to set up an account for this I would think, AND it too must be kept from Don. I know the end cost is for Don, but right now Tony has put these expenses on his shops business account, currently he is the only one accountable and it shouldn't be that way. Along with Rich I'll kick in a $100.00 for these supplies.

Come on Guys and gals, we so appreciate Tony and his undertaking, think of the shop hours at probably $50.00 an hour we're saving, he is just willing to accept expense help, no labor cost involved here.  :worshippy

We can do this a couple of ways. We can keep doing what we've been doing all this time and use my paypal account...or we can just have folks send the funds to Fishn and he can post here what has been received. Tony...let me know what is best for you.

Helping with materials would be great. If you want to send money via Paypal, send to lamillr@watchtv.net and let me know what it is for. If sending by mail, write the check to Tony Miller and send to:

L. A. Miller Restorations
19677 Road 22
Ft. Jennings, OH 45844

Again include what it is for.
Thanks,
Tony
