Predictions are for high 80's this weekend. I sooo wanna get some work done. My transmission is back from the trans guy. Did a complete rebuild including the converter for $380.00 The motor recently completed is just collecting dust in my garage, using up valubal space. They need to be put back in the chassis. Im just waiting till the paints done before installing them.

Its looking like cooler weather (high eighties 60% humidity) this weekend. Leaving work now. Going to try and get something done. I would love to make the Turkey run in Daytona Fl. with this car in Nov.

Woo Hoooo. Got the doors hung. The fenders hung. The hood on! Got my paint/ body guy over and he said to bring it on to his shop! Hell take care of the rest fo me. Not only will I have the old car with the tarp out of the front of my shop. I will be able to see grass again too. But when my car does come back, it will be in paint! Now I have to figure out the exact color.
I am sooooo pumped.

I cant stop coming back and looking at the pictures. Im like a kid waiting for christmas.
Im going to the body shop this afternoon to bring him my list of things needing to be done and some materials. Cant wait to see it again.

Dang near a month and still havent heard anything from my body man. Never tell a body guy "no rush". He is doing me a huge favor. So Im trying to be patient. He is priamrily a motorcycle painter. His prep area is about 700sq.ft. Its a bit cramped in there . I iamgine he wants it done and out of his way as bad as I want it back. He is just busy with customers that he can make money on.

Im with you on being patient with the paint shop but I sure do miss my old truck .Im going to visit the shop when I return home but this will be to get an estimate on repairs to our Malibu vert that got hit tonight in Pennsylvania at the hotel .At least I keep the bodyshop busy working on my junk.

Any updates on your Chevelle ,you cant stop now ?

I wish I had a good update other than I got my rear seat back from the upholstery shop and it looks good. I traded a Harley motor I had extra for a interior redo.
I havent been to the body shop to check out progress. I have sent hime three complete bike paint jobs at two grand each over the last month. So I know Im keeping him busy. Just trying to be patient.
