I still lurk in the shadows.

:cry:

I'm still here. I try to check in to look around every few days or so. Things are nuts. The car is in a state of hibernation and missed the whole summer. It will miss this upcoming summer as well. Maybe after this new year (2023) things will ease up. Maybe.

Thank you.

Congratulations to your daughter and you! I know that feeling of pride. Things are tough right now. I’ve got some catching up to do with other projects (work and personal). I love threads like this but Threads like this are few and far between these days. And I’m not interested in discussing...

Mike, in the last year you have done what I NEED to do. I believe you and I both built cars to be finished and driven and not be just some never ending project.

Will you be doing white faced gauges?

I was home from work that day. 5 hours later I was at Ground Zero NYC. Got home 9:30 AM the next morning.

A solid well running, well kept, sub-10 second, stage block, Turbo Buick is such a pleasure to own. This is certainly why finding one for sale is nearly impossible. Or at least a reasonably priced one. I wouldn't sell mine for anything less than a fortune. And during these tough times I have...

Phenomenal.

Should have told him you have a little knob that has a dial that goes from 15 for bitches to 30 for men. Then ask him "where do you think I had it set for?"
