I hear ya on the cold. Before I got my shop, I just had rocks on the ground out there and coveralls  :smilielol:  Sucks with your dream setting right there in front of you and not working on it huh?  All those years of waiting. You got more patience then me. They sell torpedo heaters that run on kerosene at lowes and martins. They work really good to and not bad price wise. Maybe you could make the braces for your trusses. That needs to be done bad before the roof start slumping worse than it is now not having the suport it needs.  If you land a job, you may find it even harder to get motivated on some of the things that could be done.

Gordon, were you going to respond to this?  CudaNut seems to be a stand up guy and sincere, Also, have you started removing the metal off your car yet? Stripping it down? Seems you have time on your hands now to do some things to it and still let it roll in and out till you get your concrete. We haven't seen any work progress updates on your car yet...what's up?   Cold huh   lol   This weather sucks

Gordon`s silence speaks volumes, me thinks.   :sly:

Sorry Guys just about over on my monthly useage for my wireless.  Got my lumber to get the bracing done and the sofett done.  I hope it gets warm enough to get starte on it more today did a little yesterday. 

I dont know what you want me to respond to.  I guess I am lucky I got what I got. Just not worth arguing about.  I got my car and will get what ever else I need a little at a time.

Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development

Got a dash in but it was damaged so will see how this turns out.  Did not get my interior so will make do with the one I have for my car for now.  The panels I have are cut for round speakers so I guess i will put speakers in for now.

I need a rear reflector for the side lights.   I need a drivers door inside panel.  The one I have was white and painted black if I can not find one I guess I will paint it again.  I think I will need a horn button also for the wood grain steering wheel I have.

Offer your door panel for trade...I'm sure there's someone with a black one painted white because they needed it.

I need a couple of other things also back window handle and a front window handle.  I have not found them yet.  Might need some things for one door to keep the window in straight also.  Will have to get the window seals for the doors and the rear quarters also.  Finding some things as I go through the car that I will need now also.
