    I loaded the Pontiac on the trailer & took it to the owners garage. It will be back between mid April to first of May once the owners business picks back up. So I took a few last pictures before loading.

    The owners business is stable but it is always slow this time of the year during the winter months so I am very confident it will be back. New project arriving today so it will flow into the mix.

    The new project came in & the owner is not at the present time going to do the major work I thought we were going to do so I probably wont be posting much on it as replacing the mustang II front suspension is not on the H.A.M.B.S. list, replacing a piece of door glass,repairing messed up window Chanel plus repair broken wind wing crank assembly. The owner is waiting to do the large stuff later when they can better afford it.
