I had a friend clue me in on this one...thanks for thinking about me,

I did step back from the forum but it would be pc or forum incorrect to
Post about it so I will leave that at that.

The house and move did kick my button but repairs are coming along Slow but well...

The 69. Well Howard saying it was in bad shape after Mike hosed me is an understatement that really was a kick in the jewels, but the depression is turning to motivation true, i still haven't done a heck of a lot, some parts I still need were hanging me up on simply not having the funds for them but I guess I got lucky..I was in the club business and while I sold mine in the 90s a friend who is still in the club Bizz asked me to do a guest show in Dec and that will fund the car parts and other things on the "need to buy list"

Again thanks for waving a hand and you can always hit me at the13bats@aol.com

BATS! You're back! And your front, too! Good to hear you are taking care of the Vette project (I haven't done much myself).

No, Dep was the one who was into Cheetahs (the car, not the cat). "Cheetahs always win".
