this is true. she spent too much time in the garage dismantled mate. Its about time she gets what she deserves.

i wish i could say that for my y88

What happened to your car dude?

[T/A Tommy]

well its been sitting in the garage dismantled for about holy crap... going on 3 years now?! wow. i didnt think it was that long. there has been a rough patch in my family which has caused my restoration on my Y88 to slow down.

I dont want to take the heat from ricks thread so if ya wanna pm me thats cool too.

Great looking car rick!

[y88rick]

tommy your fine dude. just a reminder, I first bought this car when i was just 15 now im past 30 and finally really working on it rather than just buying parts for it.

Any update on this Rick?

[y88rick]

idle
been busy
vacation then rivival from vacation and i just opened my own night time body shop. a trucking company is keeping me too busy. i put in 50 hours at my day job and 30 hours in at just this trucking company last week. their deal is cool but unfair. I go to them, they buy supplies. they pay me $30/hr to fix their trucks. well i just did 2 trucks this week. if brought to my place on the side it would have been $3,000 to fix them. well they bought all supplies (cheap ones too) and i have $900 into labor not fair. should be 2500 but hey it will help me get back on my feet faster and i suppose its not my shop getting grimey and i forgot how much i hate fiberglass. lol
i think she will be at idle for a few more weeks. my brother will be back from N.C. in a week and he'll have time to help me with welding just to the car moves forward somehow.
