AAhhhh Jim,

Next time they will turn that water on!

I'm telling ya' you can't go out to Lake Sarah next year for those shots

Seriously, I think you are keeping with the overall theme. I know some guys says it's too much for their taste, but you are not straying from the theme and I think that's really cool.

I promise, the next time we hook up, I'll have some better film.

It is going to look incredible!!

Lookin great Jim. Like I told you in Chicago you need to make that thing a vert so you can really show off all the detail work on the inside. This is a mad sickness we have. I am getting ready to take mine off the frame so I can finish the undercarriage. We are going to paint and chrome everything underneath.

Thanks Brian.. ... If I don't get some professional help soon, and the madness continues, that might just have to happen...
Man, I seriously didn't think there was anything else you could do to that awesome vette of yours to improve it.... ....can't wait to see the finished results of this mod...
Are you planning on maybe a new display to raise it up so the undercarriage can be seen?
Hope to see you in Louisville in a few weeks....

Dang Mike, you're sure making it tempting.... ....maybe I can plan a couple weeks off from work a little later on and see if you and Gary could possibly give me a few pointers on taking care of this problem.... .... ...
(Yea, like you guys don't have enough projects going on already)...

Hey Steve, appreciate the warning....I’ll have to be careful around there from now on.... ...
Thanks for the comments... ...and I kind of agree, you have to see the car in person to get an idea of what's going on...
Seriously, I'm not trying to get everybody's approval, but do appreciate
hearing all the positive responses......it kind of adds fuel to the fire ....(no pun intended)...]...
Looking forward to seeing you again, whether you have film or not....
