And he says he is getting old yeah right . He can run circles around me with all his projects.

I am not sure about anybody else but over the holidays excluding Christmas I was in the garage non-stop, got all my brakelines run, rearend with the coilovers in, working on the body and firewall and floor right now, I took a bet that maybe I shouldn't have taken, I told someone at work I would have the car done for the spring car show in the middle of April, Doesn't seem like quite a stretch for most people but I work 2 jobs plus run a small business and that takes up too much of my time.

When you put your firewall in, what gauge of metal do you use and what can you put behind it to support it?, looking for the safest easiest way if that is possible

I hear you, Bobby. Dave must have hit the lottery at some point, I couldn't afford half of what he does!

I used 16 gauge on my last firewall; seemed to be strong enough but I wouldn't go any thinner. How 'bout some pictures of that beast?

Not getting old, I AM old!!!!!!! Haven't got in to the expensive parts yet, the sheetmetal and fab work is never all that expensive but it sure as heck is time consuming... Sometimes you can work all week and it doesn't look like you got anything done!!!!!

Isn't that the truth! I spent the whole day gathering parts at three different boneyards Monday. Now the car and the motor look the same plus there's another pile of crappy looking parts laying on the floor!

Dave,

Well if your old than what am I?

I don't get on my computer very much any more, they are running me ragged down here in Orlando. Planning to go to the drag races this Saturday though.

How's the doors coming along? I was thinking maybe you should wait untill I get home this spring before you work on them..... I'll make a templete off my stock doors so you'll be able to get the right bend on them.

A cool day here only in the 70s
