Default '73 update - I snoozed and loozed

Hey, just to follow up on my previous thread about the '73 convertible I looked at over the weekend. I made up my mind to go take a second look at make an offer if everything looked acceptable. I called the seller and he sold it yesterday. :cry :cry Oh well, I guess it wasn't meant to be.........

Now I just need to convince myself that I couldn't have taken on another project anyway, and channel all my energy into getting the last few items straightened out on the '69.

Shannon

You couldn't have taken on another project anyway. Why don't you just concentrate on getting those loose ends on the '69 straightened out.
