That's funny Piero!

 

Hang in there Joe, wish I had one more day to help.. You'll get it.. Stay focused and drive that fucker safe..
Got a new Hamb name for you, AcoupeJoe

 

That looks GREAT,Joe!!!

 

What a day. I got up about 9 and drove my gal to the airport. Then fought traffic to mooneyes for a new shifter. Drove up the 5 and stopped by and picked up my headlight stands. Drove to an auto parts store for some hoses and misc. Went to the bank, picked up my seat, went to OSH for hardware,stopped by another auto parts store for stuff, went home, started on the car, drove back to the auto parts store, back to OSH, came home worked and worked and I finished this fucker!!!!!! Just got home from the test drive. Only have one issue with a loose battery cable but it drives pretty damn great. Going to Ians tomorrow to have the floors finished and while Im there theres a couple little adjustments to make but not much. Have to clean the windows up from siliconing them in and I made a godamn mess. The last two weeks have been nuts between moving into my new shop, working two jobs and working on this car. But driving it right now made it all worthwhile. I can hardly see out of the thing and I'll need a chiropracter at every stop I make but I dont care.

Lucky-I cant thank you enough. The work you put in and the help you gave me is amazing. Im so glad youre my friend. My dog loves you also.

Evel-You came out to help me even though you had no real reason to and I'll never forget it.
You can have the keys to my van anytime. I owe you.

Turtle and Curt you guys helped me a lot. It all adds up and I appreciate it.

Without these guys I'd be walking to Vegas and Austin.

The car is a great thing. The experience of doing this is priceless. It may have frustrated me now and stressed me to hell, but I know I'll think back on this as one of the best times ever.

Thanks guys.

 

Man that rules. Million times bett er

Working on friends Hot Rods is fun... I've been helping Lucky as well at the shop sometimes and I when I go home never feel a sense of time mispent... I actully love doing this.. fills a void in my heart.

enjoy joe, travel safe brother god speed!

 

Can't wait to see it guys!!! We're leaving Wednesday so we'll see ya Thursday around.

 

Whew. Left Vegas this morning and had an alternator issue about a mile outside of Kingman. Car died and Lucky and Piero found me. We grabbed a battery and drove the car to an Autozone. Well I had already replaced the alternator in Vegas and when I pulled this one out I found that they gave me the wrong one in Vegas the guys at the Autozone in Vegas were retards so I'm not suprised. Got the right one and put it on and now it's all golden. We took off and hauled ass all day long. Now in Albuquerque at a motel watching OG. Good day. Good drive. Car did great. Can't wait to take off tomorrow.

 

Glad you got it fixed. Enjoy the ride!

 

Looks GREAT!!
