Well I sold the barracuda and all the goodies. There may or may not be a next time??

Nice camaro for sure. Nice work too.

That's how the hobby in my opinion should be passed. Or at least a skill. But for sure. Night time in the summer with lights on attract all the creepy crawlies lol. And the flying ones die almost instantly when you start to spray clear and drop right in lol

Yah not easy. For sure. Dad made it to 89. Mom is still clicking along. Be it slowly also do to alzheimers but still with us.

I too used to work in dealerships. I got out in the early 2000s. I taught myself how to do paint and body because I wanted too. Took the leap and started doing other people's projects years ago. Now with my dad that passed in September. And having to put mom in a facility. I've wanted to teach...

Considering it actually was and I converted it to a bel air you bet.

I get that alot lol. My latest "job" that left Friday. Man I could of used the help on this one. All you see is done by myself.

Well no takers all summer. But winter is here and my offer still stands. I may be actually selling my 67 cause I most likely won't have time for it. And it'll be costly.

I agree.

When I first got this barracuda I originally had some shops I called. And like many. They were backed up pretty long.

Not 10 minutes from Wisconsin north like me.

Too bad it's on the other side of the planet for me.

I'm from Northern Illinois and it's that time of year to hopefully get some machine work and have me a shortblock built. Have a 360 and looking for some great shops around the area if available? Thanks

Grief yes. How about clips for a 57 chevy belair that have been on backorder for 3 years and none in sight to be made. And they are special for all of the belt moulding trim. I'm on the hunt for used clips as we speak.

Well as stated before it's all about supply and demand. And profit. No company would invest tens of thousands to make parts and not be able to sell it for a profit. And they don't want to sit on inventory either. So we are stuck. I too have the same concerns. But making do with what I can. Sadly...
