Hey Bill! Which crew did you work with?

Buenos dias! The sun is making an appearance, and the wind is down to a manageable 5-10mph - much better than yesterday's 25-35. So I'd guess I'd better pick up some more leaves while opportunity knocks. Monday and Tuesday the highs will be in the 20's, so you can bet your sweet bippy I won't be out there then. Maybe if I get a burst of ambition later, I'll take that hammer drill for a test run.

Have a good day, yawlz!

As great as the Drag Races were, nothing beats shifting gears AND turning the steering wheel.

I enjoyed watching the drivers steering adjustments. That's one (of many) major faults I have. I'm hard wired for fluid steering adjustments and braking. That means I often brake early and easy instead of hard and late. Old habits die hard. Ah, what does it cost .... a second or two? ;)

I just joined the "Fiberglass and Bodywork Sucks.com" forum.

I'm playin' doorjam-alam-adingdong with fiberglass.

And I got to try the GM Assembly Line method of "reefing" the doors. You grab the top of the door with 2 hands, put your knee in the middle of the fiberglass door skin and yank back hard while driving your knee forward.

Also, using the "Chip Foose Two by Four" method of door adjustment, a 2x4 in between the door and the jam with a football block into the door.

Sunday should be Funday but...............

Evening guys.....it's been a long day. Worked on the counter tops at school til about noon. Came home and got stuff together and picked up my SIL and a friend to help. Drove over to the city and got the tops installed and the crown molding up. All there is left are two doors and a little touch up. Those guys did wonders, saved Rosie and I a ton of work. Wrote a check to my SIL and the other guy wouldn't take a penny, said he would tear up a check. Says he owed me a lot more than that (he's the one I helped move a while back). I can say, I feel way better tonight having all that work done. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Bill, I'm thinking maybe there is light at the end of your Corvette tunnel too. You continue to progress as well.

Bill, I'm glad you know how to do as many things as you do. If it were me doing it,in the end, I'd have a 50 footer. Maybe even a 100 footer. Hell, the doors might not even have opened and I would have to climb through the window. Even then it would probably just be a roller.

Would have loved to have been there, Bill. I was in my own form of finals.
