Don't you dare take time off of work for this, I'm not very good delegating work and I don't work well with people looking over my shoulder. If you don't need to be there, I don't need you there, if you trust me not to fornicate with your air compressor again I can do this alone or with a few others. But really don't take time off of work. Someone needs to bring the bread for RX Snake, and it ain't this in debt law skool student.

And if you're uncomfortable leaving your garage open during the day I can even work in the driveway, that's where I did my Vette.

...This car is gonna be sooo mean. I'm excited. I wanna work on it now!

I'm going to work on it too numb nuts not just watch you and say . . . "wow, I wouldn't have done it that way." There is tons in the way of just body prep, even I know that, that is simply labor intensive. I also want to weld up all the holes in the engine compartment and make it smooth as I have no intention of returning it to street use. Or at least that's what I think at the moment and that alone is probably a couple days of labor.

PS I'm looking at possibly using a sequential shifter mechanism for the Top Loader. That outta get you excited . . . banging straight through the gears.

Weld up the holes in the engine compartment? Ha! If we set a rough timeline for completion, we will have stuff like that on our list, but come the night before we have it scheduled for paint, we won't be worrying about stuff like little holes here and there, we'll be saying to ourselves "sh*t! we still need to sand the door jambs and remove the windows!" At 2am!

This ain't a show car, set realistic goals. We're making custom panels, I don't even want to think about the hundreds of man hours and bloody sand paper that it's going to take to get them somewhat straight. (I don't mean bloody in the British sense, I mean bloody like my type A and that aids infested fluid that leaks slowly out of a dead hooker.)

But really don't take time off of work. I'm sure I'll spend the first half of the day scratching my head and getting setup, by the time you get home from work I should be ready to hammer shome shtuff out.

Also, not sure if I mentioned this, but if you intend for the front bumper to be Daytona like and kiss the ground. It might be wise to have the engine (or at least shortblock) installed along with the front springs.

No I don't think so. While I'd like to attempt a ghetto all arounder (for shits and giggles AutoX), it's obviously more of a straight line car in any. Therefore a bunch of drag/downforce on the nose isn't so ideal.

Leedom, enkeivette, DeathCult, how's Saturday March 21 for a first meeting of the minds on body and paint, as well as starting the actual work. Anybody can come and check it out, but I want to maintain some focus on doing actual work (Sean) and 3 to 4 people hovering around a car and tossing around ideas is about the max before clusterfuckation starts to set in.

Aaron, how about the materials list yo?

Saturday late morningish will be good for me son. Give me a call Friday if you remember, my mind is consumed with law skool stuff and girlfriend stuff. Remembering my name and things of that sort have become difficult.
