Oh yes. It's actually a 3 car shop. Just being ruined by one project.

The building I am working in is 100'×300' and had a number of over head cranes.....*

If I start the swap there I will be forced to finish it in a timely fashion. But I will not be able to make things "right"

choices choices....

That would really sweet to have a big shop like that to work in. But I understand not being able to get done the way you want do to the time factor!

At 2000 miles round trip...no truck...no trailer...
fuel cost, hotel, food,time off work ..the 724$ to have it delivered. I feel like it is money well spent.
​​​​​​
And that's if nothing went wrong,weather was great etc.

Now going and hanging out with Cody and Travis...yes that would be epic to go hang out there again.

I think next visit will include more leisure time and not such a quick turn around.

No clue at this point. I finalized the shipping stuff Monday. I am not sure a driver has even taken the run yet.

I am tinkering away on Clifford and hopefully tomorrow is a very productive day. If I don't catch the sickness all my women have...wish me luck.

I know you mean about waiting. Are they gong to notify you when they pick it up?
