Hey Guys,
Just a note to say I probably won't be posting Sunday. I will most likely be heading to Lexington, Ky tomorrow and won't be back until Monday or Tuesday. My brother had a brain aneurysm and is in serious condition.
I would have left today but my wife is out of town and won't be back in until late tonight.

Hey Phil,your friend up north did your body work.Did he wet sand the body yet or will he do that before he paints your car?
We will be praying for your brother Phil!

Sorry to hear that Phil. I'm sending a prayer out for him.

He still has some minor body work to finish. I wowuld like to think that he will give the car a final sanding before paint.

Doing some of the wet sanding yourself(if you want to)could save you $$$.Thats what I have been doing with my hood,deck lid,doors and the rest of the car when we finish the 1/4.It's really time consuming,I don't mind though.Just a thought Phil

Just wanted to let you know my brother didn't make it. I have a thread in the lobby about it.

I'm sorry to hear that Phil,I will still be praying for you.

It has been a bad week for me. I just didn't feel like doing anything. We started a renovation Wednesday that required a lot of heavy labor and that is something I can't do much of anymore. But, I can use the money.
Don't give up on me, I will get back on the car soon.

I am sorry but I just don't feel like doing anything right now. I am not losing interest in the car, I'm just down.
I rode to the Moultrie swap meet with a friend last Thursday. The show didn't open until Friday but we walked in while folks were setting up.
I bought a 2 speed wiper motor and pump for $40.00.
Here are my new totals

My labor at 386 hours...........$7,720.00
Parts.................................$8,049.24
Outside Labor......................$6,221.00
Gifts..................................$1,159.52

Total................................$23,149.76

I know the feeling Phil.I'm getting little pieces of things done but I still have good ways to go.I want to get the car done by the end of summer in case we move,my wife finds a job.

Phil,

We obviously have never met, yet I have followed your posts.

Add my condolences to those of the others on the forum.

Phil, I to have been following your posts, you have done a comendable job so far, I am sorry to hear of the loss of your brother. I have a big family but I dont know if I could bare the loss of one of my brothers. I also symathize with your aches and pains, I am a builder/carpenter here in Mi. and I know what you are taliking about. Im guessing were about the same age. I have a younger brother near Marriot Georgiia, ODwyer Const. co. Good luck Neil

Man, time is flying by! It seems like I just posted yesterday. That being said, I have nothing new to report.
The weather is miserable. Also, I don't want to turn loose any money until I get my taxes filled out on the 24th of this month. I don't know what to expect this year.
It looks like another week of poor weather ahead. Hopefully, it will warm up after that.

I know what you mean Phil. I took this week off thinking I could get some painting done. My engine has been home three weeks and still in plastic wrap.

[fyrffytr1]

I had to move the car out of my shop and put it in my garage to make room for a woodworking project. I ahve to build 4 8" tall columns for my Florist friend. So, nothing new to report on the car except that it sure felt good to drive it, even if it was only 100 feet! I still managed to get a wheel with it!

[Greg Reid]

You sure missed some good car working weather yesterday. Beautiful...Of course, that means I was at work. Oh well, at least I got the plastic off my engine and got the water pump installed in the evening..

[fyrffytr1]

I just re-read my post and noticed an error. It should have read "4 8' columns" not 4 8" ones".
