    Yeah Ken, great idea. Then I wouldn't have egg all over my face. How do you go back and edit a title?

    When I used to see that someone paid $ 10 or $20.000 for a propaint job, it was hard to imagine, but I can now understand completely. That stuff is out of my league, plus, if I ever got a mark on it..................

    Jack, (Henry Rifle) said something in his post that really hit home with me. He basically said that he had gotten the body to the point where he just didn't care to go on anymore.......it is good enough. I understand that completely, and I am able to say those same words. I know there are flaws in the finish, but I accept them and just don't care. Otherwise, I will be spending the rest of my life trying to make every little bracket perfect, instead of getting to actually put gas in the tank and use the darned thing.

    This car is going to Daytona in November.........this time I mean it.

    Oh, it looks like Dan is moving ahead on his again. He has spent a few nights (late nights) working at the shop, and got his electronic speedometer setup ready to install, and he built the underdash support to hold his steering column. A few weeks ago he built the latch setup and doorgo's to pop the louvered rear cover. I think he is ready to finish that car finally too........he has had enough.

    I sure hope you don't feel like you have egg on your face. You have done such a great service on this site. I wonder how many have started projects because of your thread or motivated them to go back to work on there projects?

    Thanks Ken. Nah, everybody has been very kind about not taking me to task for "slightly" overshooting my budget. Who is the member whose tag line is "its going to cost more and take lots longer than you thought," or words to that effect? That should be etched into the concrete of every garage floor.
