Just droppin by!

Haven't been around in a bit, just been busy, my wife and I had a baby 3 weeks ago and we have been SUPER busy! It is a boy and he is healthy and doing well, this makes #2 for us. His big brother is excited too(4 years old) and has been helping out as much as he can. The 48 panel is kinda on the back burner at the moment, with work, baby and household chores I don't have time right now to mess with it, which sucks cause the Mustang II crossmember is almost ready to weld in! So don't think I have forgotten about yall, I will drop in from time to time and check in.

Welcom back, great news. A new addition will keep you hopping and leave you little time. Just keep thinking of the extra help you will have some day, maybe an extra old Ford or two in the drive way!

Congrats on the new addition!! What a handsome pair of boys you have there.
Yea, the little ones slow the project down quite a bit. Everytime you get a penny saved up the kids need something...food, clothes, etc. My kids have this nasty habit of wanting to eat several times a day. I've tried to break them of it but it hasn't worked out very well.....

Just kidding.
Good luck!
Bobby
