Great father/daughter quality time together! Even better than Corvette bucks! Glad you are checking in there DG! Pretty soon you will touching that car again! After getting through the Christmas season and all that is wrapped up around that and MAYBE getting some Corvette bucks (only if you've been a good boy!) then you can put on some new stuff. But hey, you are DOORGUNNER, tha man who can dream of and DO the amazing! With or without parts! Have a great day Tony!

Thanks, You Guys. I may get an hour's break each day from the "dark side"......if I'm near the laptop I try to check the Forum......other than that----I'm still incapable of doing any work to the car.

Like you guys said......tragedies and the holidays seem to collide.

Thanks for the good thoughts Guys. It's starting to look like 1/2/2017 will be the date to aim for.

I'm "chewing the meds" regularly (I really don't like taking meds in the first place)..............at least they are working well enough that I can still operate the laptop.

Gunner, no way you're sitting on sidelines for whole year. Can't let that happen.
Good luck
