Nah nah-I did debate the hardtop bit and some shaved handles but that's how these things never get finished. Stock will work.
So last I had heard from the shop was in June. The next time was Wednesday-the last day of September. Miffed I was-are you working on it? Do you want to work on it? Are you still in business? Did you die? make the beast with two backsing nothing.
I got an email asking me to call them-I was told they were at a standstill because they didn't have the other parts they needed, some floor bits and the new frame piece.
The ones that they haven't asked for or entirely verified were make the beast with two backsed up to begin with.
Then they went on to tell me they didn't have room or time to work on it, it's parked outside and the rainy season is coming. Kinda miffed. If you don't want to/can't work on it that's fine-tell me-I'll do something else.
Paula happened to be going past there the next day, so she got saddled with my truck and trailer. While she was at work another friend went and picked up/secured the car, brought the rig back to P's work and she brought it home. I have a fantastic wife-towing that rig 200 miles on no notice was sweet of her.
It's a relief to get it home. I still need to do the floor, the front crossmember, and the gauges. After that it's paint and interior. I suppose there's a falcon in there somewhere too. Here's what the crossmember looks like:
The shop is too cluttered, so the spare room in the barn got turned into a warehouse for parts that are in the way:
Me mother is coming to visit in December. The goal isn't to be finished by then, but able to pick her up from the airport would be ideal.
