oh man, I've put off plenty of projects, but you did so much to that car and it's so close right? I'm guessing you're planning on having it done for this summer? 'course I thought you planned on having it done for last summer.

It's really close but I'm at the headache stage with dealing with things that don't quite fit right , wiring , plumbing plus I need to get a few more things. The job I work at ( a custom auto shop that I won't mention the name of as they are not a sponsor here) keeps me there six days a week and I don't have time for much of anything. That car is my blood , sweat and tears plus nobody would give me anywhere close to the $$$$ I've put into it. I will finish it and I will keep everybody updated. Hell, I don't even have much time to post on here as much as I'd like to. The convertible is the most prized car out of the 5 cars ( and just me and the wifey live there, lol) at my house so I gotta get it done.

Here's your solution, since you're too busy, give the keys to the toolbox to your wife...

I bet most of us are in same situation - nobody would give the $$ to properly compensate us for our time in this. Your doing a great job, congrats! Fantastic pics and updates - keep up the great work (and keep us posted)!!! It's ging to be beeching when finally done!
