i know the feeling all to well ......... i'm always right at the max for dot approved hours ( wink , wink ) and dragging my **** . then when i got a chance other's have things planned for you , or in my case also i have p.a.d.d. ( a thread in general automotive will explain it ) or project attention deficit disorder , and have way too many things and cars it seems at times . i'm waiting for the boss to heal all the way , and the new fill in driver to get hie crap in order , and i'm gonna take a lot of the 4 weeks i have coming in vacation time off . i should've had a rolling chassis by now as i have all the parts , and had plenty 'o' help to disassemble the 53 so .......................... hopefully you will see the light john and all of us can eventually get back at it !!!!!!!!!!!! and maybe drive them again................Name:  red_truck.gif
