Gunner, you sound like a sales brochure ! LOL

Maybe I do man. But it's nice to see somebody bettering himself and getting ahead. Thats one of the big things about the oil buisness. They'll give you a load of crap if you quit and go home, but if you quit so you can move up, everybody out in the field generally tells you to go for it.

Oilfield culture I guess ;D

Steve ,I really feel like once the school finds out about your knowledge of music and album covers they will hire you as the music teacher ! I know the Queen is probably looking forward to you providing the music at the upcoming wedding ;)

Well dodging showers and doing the best i can i carried on working on the T top......

Ive been concentrating on the panel gaps , i rebuilt the door hinges and then spent time lining them up...



Just as i thought i was getting somewhere the drivers side latch mechanism decided it had enough and destroyed its internals.
As lock mechs are a little thin on the ground and im on a budget i went to the local breakers and found some out of a British GM car... not quite the same but nothing that i cant modify and ive got the bonus of having central locking solenoids attatched......... nothing like making more work for meself. A garage would also be a bonus !!





Perfect fit.......... no chance !
