Ron,
You know buddy, its hit the binders a bit but at least she's in the garage, getting close and isn't going no where. Right now it's a matter of fundage vs priorities. Gotta make sure the light are on, foods on the table and the great Plymouth adventure in the garage doesn't take a burden on the wife because i'm out spending the time or money on the car we don't have. I was brought up, if you want something, work hard and earn it. Thus far I haven't pulled out any magical plastic cards to pay for anything on the car. If I have room in the account to start buying, I will. If I don't...well keep working hard till I do.
I appreciate the anticipation along with mine on the bird, especially being down at the 10yard line. Truth of the matter is, building a larger stroker motor is very expensive. I'm real close to having all the funds, logistics and parts in place to do so. I set a goal from the get go on what exactly I wanted and at this point i'm not gonna sell myself short because i'm just about over the fence. For now though, I'll stick with the old saying "good things are worth waiting for".
Basket Case,
It's probably a good thing I listened to the good me on the left shoulder and not the bad me standing on my right...lol I was so pissed when he was trying to explain himself to me, I didn't even hear a word he was saying. I was just playing out the different senario's in my head what to do with the guy. There's only been several other times I can remember being angered to that point and I realized.... A) I need to neutralize the situation, B) don't do something that could affect my family around me in bad way. I'm obviously a very patient person, I can thank my folks and years of church for that. Another thing, some bearing, US military has the credit for that one. If I didn't have those, I'm not sure the guy would have left my garage in a very operational mode. I really hope the clown is not still out causing carnage to other folks cars out there. After the hour long face to face finger pointing, teeth grinding scolding I gave his boss, I would hope not.
SGT,
Thanks for the words of encouragement, I appreciate it. You know, those vise grips are worth their weight in gold. Who would have thought a spring loaded hand held mini vise would be so useful so often. Pretty sure I got about 20 hanging on the wall and to be honest, next project I'll probably buy 20 more before I get started. So...I agree with your shelf clearing madness! If I ever happened to be by Motor City i'd be honored to help you out on your Charger. I truely respect the amount of work it takes to tackle a massive ressurrection like that. I don't think a whole lot of people realize that just being 1/16" off on one side can mean an inch or two off on the other and trying to get it perfect all the way around takes a whole lot of thought, whole lot of work and a whole lot of skill. Keep up the good work on that Dodge SGT :icon_thumleft:
