Alan, your pipe layout looks so much better than what was stuck on there before.
We got the bumper fit to the GTX last night and tonight should have the grille installed and the passenger door glass regulator installed and adjusted. The body shop he paid to do the work initially had it all screwed up and he paid them 8 grand to do such crappy work. Hopefully once he gets the mechanical bugs worked out of it, me and Parrish can have it for a week to fix all the nicks in the door openings from the prior shop not even aligning the doors right. We also need to pull the hood and trunk to repaint and clear the undersides. No wonder people like me and Alan stay booked. Being picky does count in work like this and I know I'm nowhere near as good as several local guys.

And that didn't happen on its own. it took some...lots of talent to make it cool.

Good Morning Everybody!
Rich, I'd throw tags on silver before you left. It's one less thing to worry about while you're gone and one less thing to forget when you come back again.
Dennis, I'm not sure why I never noticed before, (especially with your screen name) but you own one of my all time favorite cars. A '67 Mustang Fastback.
I'm on to the next hurdle on the '66. I have to get the radiator support mounts done and start fitting the steering column and brake booster.

Whazzupp Y'all!!!
Well my buddy Terry lost the auction on the trailor in Fenton, BUT found another, an 16 or 18'm flat bed tandom axle in the north side of Willard that he absolutely had to have then/NOW. I was (really) doing some body work on Ka'Bluey, d/a and compressor going solid. Bathroom break, picked up me cell phone and missed 3 calls from Terry and left shortly afterwards to head for Nixa, grab him and his 2010 F150 Crew Cab 4x2 (I love driving that truck) and Willard bound. Back home and then dinner on the grill. I called and had Tim get it going when we returned to Terry's.
I've allway's been pretty good/bad whatever that a real......"Friend" would call and I'm gone, what ever, where ever. If I could get there, I'm in.
