10 Signs

10 Signs you are 1/2 way done with a restoration


1 My Wife stopped asking who the car part places are on the credit card bills.

2 Their are more parts back on the car than in plastic bags.

3 Auto body supply house set me up with a house account.

4 Parts places no longer ask for my last name, address, of charge card numbers. They just ship the stuff and bill my usual card.

5 My work cloths have become my shop rags, my regular clothes are now work cloths.

6 I have actually gotten used to the smell of Por-15.

7 I get exited when a new Summit Racing catalog arrives. I only used to get worked up over Victoria's Secret.

8 My 3 1/2 year old Daughter can now identify all the tools in my tool box.

9 When my wife can't locate me she now assumes I am in the Garage.

10 I no longer remember what the original color of the skin on my hands used to be.

you stop buying GoJo by the gallon.

The Snap-On truck added your house to his route.

Q: I bought some of that Por-15, how hard is it to use? I want to do the fenderwells as a preventative so they won't rust.

The funny thing is, I went to go get a part for my escort today, and the guy at napa now knows me by name.
