If I get all the parts together, maybe we could have a 'rebuild my 292 party' ... except my new garage ain't heated yet.

I was supposed to have electric ran into my pole bldg by now... except they messed up when they built it. To square up my building they have to remove ALL the steel, square it up, and put all new steel on it.

It'll probably be summer now before the perm electric gets ran and my LP tank is getting moved at the same time so I'll be able to put in a furnace easy if I get it insulated. It's all time and $$.

Ain't that a costly mistake (for them, I hope!)

And ain't that the truth! Next year I hope to have the same done for my garage, heat + electric. Simply ran out of funds this year. Planning to vinyl side the house too.

69 and 85: are you located in Dewitt?

I'm out in the country about 15 miles west of DM. I just got a call form my wife - they just dropped off the new steel. Y, this is 100% on them.

Taz, can you post those pics? If chrono4 isn't interested or maybe wants to share that F150... maybe others would be interested. Devouring a parts truck might make for a fun time.

BTW - Did you sell that 3 popper bike?
