Just want to whine
« on: December 18, 2008 - 10:18:32 PM »
 :hyper:
Wife is out of town, so had a whole night of quality time with the car......

I don't mind body work, I actually kind of enjoy it - kind of a zen thing for all you body guys. Nice to make something nice out of something that was garbage before

but then I got to looking at the gas tank, then the leaf spring mounts, then the....... - geesh - I like the pretty parts - hate working on the ugly parts (kind of reminds me
of chasing woman when I was single!)

Anyway....just thought I would whine a little...Lot's of sanding on the crawler...wish I had rotesierie(sp?)
Comin' at ya like a herd of turtles

It was a balmy 60degrees or so last night here in SC - and the beer was plenty cold, so I guess I shouldn't whine that much!  :cheers:

It was half that, if even, last night here, waiting for about 1 foot of snow to come any minute...  :eek7:

You think you guys got it bad weather wise?????
Where I live it is top down convertable weather for only about 320 days of the year.
And tomorrow, I think I'll put my heater on for the first time ever-
just to see if it works. hahahahahahahaha

That is why I am going to put in as much new sheet metal that I can on my car this time.  Did not like to do the real dirty work.  Gordon
