I've barely touched the surface here.
I may grow old reading this.

Great Material.
I'm going to be following in your footsteps.

Oh man, the photobucket fiasco destroyed one of the greatest restoration documentations out there...

THAT IS CRIMINAL. Just wrong. I hate photobucket for this reason.
Highway robbers.

I *may* have many/most of the photos somewhere. Once I grabbed them all, but it was at least a couple of years ago now. I'll have a look 'around' and see what I can find if anyone is interested.

I found my archive of the images and the site content/pages dated from 2012 and before. Most of it was before it was painted, if my memory serves me well.

I compressed the content into a file that is now ~203 MB. It is now located in a shared location on Dropbox:

If there are no objections and/or the copyright owners agree, I will post the link to the Dropbox archive.

The content doesn't belong to me; I recall reading about some issues with the photo hosting service, so I made a backup of the then-current content. It is not my intention to be in contradiction to any possible copyright infringement, so, if there are any objections, please let me know and I will remove the link immediately and destroy my archive of it. I just didn't want it to 'get lost' as is sometimes possible when dealing with such things.

I wish I was 18 again. I love working on cars, but I just cannot crawl around them like I used to. Now they tell me I need a hip replacement. You wont be 18 forever, so keep up the good work and most of all ENJOY THE RESTORATION. You will remember it for the rest of your life.

Long time no talk everyone.

These past years since finishing the car have been fantastic, and I have pursued an amazing career and advanced a tremendous amount. This goes for both the skill aspect of me, and also the personal development part of me (growing up - as I look back on all of these posts from years ago).

To anyone's toes I stepped on, I truly apologize. And to those that rooted for me, I can't thank you enough. Like I said, I have done a tremendous amount of growth. I finished the vette, received my autobody journeyman certificate, an incredible career, and my own house and garage now. I continue learning new things each day. Mike Dyer and I talk every now and then - someone who I really needed to apologize to after the way I acted years ago.

This all has kept me away from the forum, as my time has been spent "growing". I haven't driven the car very much.

We are taking the car down to Spokane, Washington, with another vehicle we completed, in 2.5 weeks. I'm excited, as I haven't touched it in over a year now due to other aspects of my life, and have been going hard on it for a month, getting it ready for the show. We have also put together a new display, which is exciting.

Nice to hear from you again Jeremy. Great to hear that things are going well for both you and your career.

Been a long time since we spoke, Good for you Jeremy, sounds like your next step will be your own shop. Don't stop now, keep moving forward.

There is no need to apologize to anyone, you were young and learning, there is no one among us that hasn't make mistakes learning. Others were older and should have known better with their statements or actions.

Rescue Rogers

Great to hear from you. Can you post pics of the new car and your display as well as your vette? I'm glas your career took off and is keeping you happy. One thing I learned the hard way from having jobs that I loved is, start now to get a 401K or some sort of retirement going. It will get here faster than you need it too and its expensive to get old and not want to work.

Good luck

Great to hear from you!! I'm glad to hear you've got your "stuff" together and have made amends where needed. I followed your build all the way through and hated to hear of the crap that went down. Congrats on everything and throw up some more pics!!!

stinger12

I will most definitely post pics once I return from the show!
