Thanks for all the kind words guys! It is greatly appreciated.

The car has been moved over in the shop and I took on a side project, like I needed one, to help cover the costs of the new driver.

Old 57 Chevy that the fella wants to turn, stop, and go like a new car. Should be a pretty easy job, and my customer has the budget to do it right. If it all works out I should make enough to help with the new little guy and even have a little left over to throw at ole Hank!

Three more weeks and the driver will be here, although I'm afraid I'm going to have to change the driving position in Hank if the little guy gets too ambitious...

I find that I get sent these type lifelines just when I need it most.
Good one Joe.
The client came to the right guy. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

No better way to fund the new little guy IMO.  :wink:

Hey Mikey!

Things are going well. I have managed to get my shop organized and setup the way I want it. I built a couple more work benches and installed about ten more fluorescent lights to brighten things up. It's only taken me a year... Although I really need to get the stove put in to keep things warm out there this winter.

Got the '57 I mentioned earlier in the shop a couple weeks ago and started tearing it down. It should be a pretty good project. The car is in really good shape so that is going to make my job a lot easier.

But the biggest thing is that I've been counting down the days until my little sidekick arrives. He should be here around the end of next week, and I can honestly say I've never been so excited and scared to death at the same time. The one thing I have learned is that a pregnant woman requires quite a bit of attention.

Here's a shot of the old Chevy I'm doing up, and as soon as I meet my new driver, I'll be sure to let you guys know!

Thanks guys!

Making some progress on the old 57. I'm hoping to get it done sooner than later, that should really help the funds to finish up Hank.

The other big news is that my driver finally got here. He's been here for a little over a week, and we have gone over the car together. He seems to approve of everything, and here's the smile to prove it!
