Gutsy move, but eventually you'll be glad! Maybe it comes from my soft hearted, animal lovin' wife, but I really feel sorry for old Vettes that have been patched up and sent on. It's good to see this one found a good home where it will be fixed right.

Plus look at all you will have learned when you're done.

And somebody please get that dang dog out of that tree!

HAHAHA that's funny as hell! I put it on there! I changed my mind before the auction ended, and now I am glad I did.

I had all these signs. I had dreams, and then I couldn't find the title. She wouldn't let me sell her. Tomorrow I pull the rest of the body off to reveal the midwest corvette frame.

Labor on labor day. So far everything is going easier than I thought. I guess it's time to order some paint.
