Patience
Trying to exercise some patience, I know the shop has only had the car for 2 weeks (almost) and I know that the chances of the car being on the road this year is slim but I really want to know if he is done yet.
LOL, not going to ask ~ don't want to be one of those owners.

I give up try again later
The 69 is coming along they should have put the nose back on this week I will see it again next weekend and hopefully figure out why my pictures are not posting. They did post, not sure why I could not see them before.

I plan on having the Vette shop paint, put on the soft top, badges and mirrors, stain the interior but after that I have a guy that will finish it up over the winter so she is ready for the road in the spring.

They need to finish fitting the nose, windshield glass then prep and paint. I am hoping to see her painted when I go see her on the 12th, I was promised big changes.

You got the right job, not an iron worker I've been working on this job over a year and maybe another year yet. Not with the builder, one of the subs.

Tired of Waiting
Today I was supposed to go visit my car but the garage owner had to go out of town, I know the car will not be on the road until spring but is it spring yet?
Two weeks is the next chance I have to go for a visit, sit down have some coffee with my car.
