Thanks for saving one that would have rotted into the ground otherwise.
Thanks for the compliment. The car was sitting in the woods for 14 years and never moved. Loaded to the gills with junk throughout. Other people have asked me, "why I started with such a disaster? Why not have started with a car in better condition?" I paid nothing for the car, just 180 bucks and 2 months to get a title through the "Mechanics Lean" process in my state. After I received a clear title and found out it was a non numbers matching vehicle, I decided to do her my way. I thought what the hell, I'm up for a challange, I always wanted to die broke, so I'm well on my way and loving every minute of it. Well almost every minute!! Yes, it is wonderful to have a supportive wife as well. Bob

Well If you guys are heading to Chevelleabration 2010 we can formally meet. By the way I love that saying, "Get In, Sit Down, Shut Up and Hold On" I'm trying to incorporate the saying somewhere inside the car. I want it to look classy and not stand out too much mut I want it to be noticable.

Hi Bob! Everytime you posted on TC I would RACK my brain trying to figure out what your screen name 'lev8trmn' meant! Now it all makes sense to me once you stated your profession. VERY clever! It's like trying to decifer a vanity plate, LOL.

Well I thought I was giving the only hint that was needed in my sugnature. "I Have My Ups and Downs" Maybe I'll Add the word "Elevator" in front of my name over at TC. OR Maybe just let them keep guess--in!!
