    Thank you! I've had mine for 3 years too. Just imagine how far we'd get with no job to pull us away, all the right tools and parts, and a steady cash flow!

    Absolutely! If you see it be sure to say Hello! It'd be cool to meet other members in person!

    So like any good TV build, I've hit some drama at crunch time...

    While trying to ballpark the alignment to get it to a shop, I boogered up the pass side tie rod end. And of course I don't have a thread cutter that big. I ordered one from the parts store and picked it up today. Apparently, "RH" in this case is for "right hand threads," not "right hand side" as in "passenger side," like ANY other part. The correct one wouldn't arrive until Friday morning, unacceptable. I'm getting up early tomorrow to pick it up at a store an hour away and book it back home to try and align it and tune it before work at 3pm. FML... haha

    On the upside, here's my pretty dash without the tape!

    Sorry, I've been getting pulled in a thousand directions...

    I made it to BilletProof! It's first day on the road, 140 miles round trip, and no hiccups! It drew a steady crowd all day, and lots of cool people came up to me to talk about it, grey beards and car punks alike. An awesome day! Here's some pics from the show and the dash and spotlight installed. I've been riding high on my triumph of making it to the show before starting to tear back into it. (I have had one afternoon where I was bored, and started painting the lettering on the driver's side doors. Haha)

    The last pic is from BilletProof's FB page. Validation! :D
