i, also, know what you mean about wasted time. ESPECIALLY when someone else does it for you. i bought my 54 and that day, took it to my sand blaster guy. next day after that i hired 2 guys to go to his shop and break it down to single pieces, just like the blaster wanted. he told me 7-10 days and done.........3 months later after mucho ph calls and listening to every excuse in the world----INCLUDING "i've been soooo busy". boy, did that **** me off.!!! whats wrong with MY money? anyway, i finally got it back and all the wind was out of my sails. i had lost the momentum that i was flying on and it took me a while to get it back. i just hate relying on another person for ANYTHING!! any wonder why? it really gave me a bad taste in my mouth and i had to get that crap out of my head before i could continue. i'm back on track now and am going full steam ahead....till the next creep screws it up.
what it all boils down to is "LIARS". you believe them and bingo---yer screwed----but, thats another story

You are probably right, at the time I had no idea that I could do that kind of work. It is sitting now waiting for me to do it. Yes, some of these people just don't care. Even if you are paying them - my business would die if I tried that. I like to finish projects, weather they are my own or somebody is paying me (I do woodwork). I have never had to look for work, just the fact that I actually finish what I start keeps my phone ringing.

Not much to see, but here is one of those front fenders. i just had to get it in place to see where the tire sits in the arch. I don't have any F1 lowers yet.
These need some work, but should be useable, I think...
Yeah...I know...I need to stop and do some cleaning and organizing....it's getting ridiculous!

Jeff, I got fiberglass fenders and have the lowers which aren't too bad (the uppers were where most of the rot was). If you want them I can pack them up and send them too you. I am a firm believer in recycling. Let me know if you want them and I can find out what it would cost to send them. I can take some pics first if you want to see them close up. PM me.

Jeff, if F321 runs, drives and sounds anything like Homade you're going to have a BIG smile on your face! Trust me on that one.

I was leaning a little more towards HOT PINK
maybe purple would be better
Next I suppose you might ask me to put the distributor close to the firewall????
I am still climbing that hill !!! Legs get tired and it's a long ways to the top, but a cup of coffee at a time, and off I go again...
