"RE: Car Guy Owner Page" Dec-25-05, 11:12 AM (EDT) Scott I just now looked at your owners page and saw the link to your camero. Now I see what your talking about, what a bummer.All that work and now sitting. It makes me want to push harder on the finish date of my project. I wonder if you should try and sell it ? There might be someone on ebay that might want to finish the project. I feel for you, Ive looked at my car a dosen times now, being gutted and stripped and thinking WHAT DID I DO. Will I ever see it back together or am I going haul it home in pieces.I think now if I new where Id be with the car today, I wouldnt have done it. BUT its to late now.

Most all look like that before they are finished, Take your car and multiply it by 3 and you will see how I feel! Seriously, if I can continue on and live long enough, mine will all be done. Just keep on plugging. "Randy"   Printer-friendly page   dreamer     Member since Feb-14-03 1089 posts 45. "RE: Car Guy Owner Page" Dec-25-05, 07:48 PM (EDT) Scott,after closer look at your car i'd have to take back the advice I made about getting a small kit and doing one peice at a time.Most of the areas are too large to go small.If you lived down here I'd love to get a crew together and help.Have you tried any of the trade schools yet? After the holiday break some line up their spring projects.This would give you space for your little van,and help with the car.   Printer-friendly page   car guy     Member since Apr-7-03 1705 posts 46. "RE: Car Guy Owner Page" Dec-26-05, 00:35 AM (EDT) Yeh- it is a big project to take on. I have not tried the schools yet. I get shy when it comes to walking in to a situation like that. If I'm talking to someone, and the subject comes up, I'm fine. Carl- definately keep on them to finish it. I told John not to worry about my car- I hade 3 others at the time. He had it 4 1/2 years and never finished it. Then he died, and I lost. Don't let that happen to you. It is exteme circumstances, but anything could happen. Dreamer- I would love a crew to jump into it with me. The more- the merrier. It is hard to tackle a job this big by yourself. It's not like the body is done, and I have finish work to do to it. I have to build it- start to finish.Even fabricate the lights, exhaust,and airfoils. It runs + drives good, so at least I did that already, although, I have a friend who has been bugging me to paint his cars for a few years now. He has a twin turbo setup for a smallblock chevy, so....... you get it. Hmmmmm the possibilities... I would have to fabricate the intake though. It's all dicouraging. Carl- there are a bunch of guys working on your car right???   Printer-friendly page   CarlBreit     Member since Mar-30-05 621 posts 47. "RE: Car Guy Owner Page" Dec-26-05, 12:04 PM (EDT) Two guys on the body right now. There are 5 total that work there. Two body guys, two sheet metal and welder/fabricators, and one interior guy. It would be awsome to see your car done.   Printer-friendly page   car guy     Member since Apr-7-03 1705 posts 48. "RE: Car Guy Owner Page" Dec-27-05, 04:24 AM (EDT) I agree, but as I said before- it's tough to look at it with all the work it needs. I lost my job in April, so there will be absolutely no money to be put into it. Maybe next summer i will try to do at least the rear.   Printer-friendly page Page 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Conferences | Forums | Topics | Previous Topic | Next Topic Select another forum or conference Lobby Mako Shark 2 (Conference)   |--Mako Shark 2 Prototype (Protected)   |--Mako/Maco Replicas (Protected)   |--Manta Ray Replicas (Protected)   |--For Sale (Protected)   |--Wanted (Protected)   |--Lounge (Protected)   |--Memorabilia (Protected)   |--Closeups (Protected)   |--Ebay and Craigs list (Public)   |--Event Planner (Public) Corvette Social Clubs (Conference)   |--Corvettes of Augusta (Public) Custom Corvettes (Conference)   |--Greenwood (Protected)   |--Wide Bodies (Protected)   |--Corvette Wagons (Protected)   |--Customized C1's (Protected)   |--Customized C2's (Protected)   |--Customized C3's (Protected)   |--Customized C4's (Protected)   |--Customized C5's (Protected)   |--Customized C6's (Protected) Technical (Conference)   |--Fiberglass (Protected)   |--Paint (Protected)   |--Interior (Protected)   |--Body (Protected)   |--Machine Shop (Protected)   |--Drivetrain (Protected)   |--General (Protected)
