    I wish. Don't have big bank account and still have to work my 40 hours + a week.

    Taking this one slow.

    Hi Dave! You know what we're gonna ask and it's not if the Steelers are going to the Super Bowl...

    Pictures of something would be neat. Living vicariously here.

    Update,

    Transmission is done and will be picked up at the Autofair. Will post pics then.

    I have purchased a couple of parts cars for the sheet metal repair. Have been cutting parts for the outer wheel house repairs.

    My biggest hold back has been $$$. All my spare money has been dumped into my mortgage. Plan is to be DEBT FREE by the end of this year. Actually a little ahead of schedule.

    The Steelers have a better chance at the Superbowl than this project has of making real progress. For right now.

    Thanks for the nod for President. You would be the only vote!

    I'll have to admit I am a Damn Yankee!

    Moved to NC in 1985 from Pittsburgh. Actually ran out of gas in NC on my way to Florida. Nobody would give me any to get me on the road. So I stayed.

    As long as you don’t say ‘let me tell yinz how we do it up north…’ you’re ok. You can’t help being born in the wrong place!

    Transmission is Home.

    Dennis at DME did the work. Phosphate plated the rods, had the handle replated.
