Wow. I guess you could say its in his blood, well at least in his skin anyways. I WISH I had that kind of money to spend on a car. That would be alot of fun I think. Who knows Jeremy, maybe youll be one of those legends here soon. Your as young as me so I know how much life you have ahead of you.

Nathan came over last week to check out my progress...he was impressed! That makes me feel like I actually did something!

That's awesome. I wish I had 1/2 the talent you do, and if I had it at your age, I don't know what I'd have done.

Stripped the rusty hinges, and rebuilt the storage frame. I fixed the cracks, and then painted it black.

I also finished the repairs on the right dash pad. These pieces are getting dyed tomorrow night.

Hello Jeremy - I have been following this thread for quite a long time (page 1 to 97) I am amazed - you are truly one talented individual. Keep up the good work. I have some relatives who live in Calgary and I make it out there at least once a year. I would sure like to look you up just to shake your hand if possible. Take care - keep the dream alive - BK3

A quick look at your Vette would be the highlight of my 8 hour one way trip to Calgary.

Jeremy....
I will be repairing my rear compartment frame as you did. Did you use epoxy or polyester resin? I have experience with epoxy but not resin.

KUDO's to ya......Alex
