My neighbor cut up a Pontiac. It never had the front clip on it when I saw it
and I thought it was a Camaro. Not sure of the year but I'm going to ask him about the diff.
Imagine finding the right one next door????

I collected my 18" outer rims today.
I was beginning to think they'd never arrive.

The pieces of the puzzle are slowly falling into place.

Lots of engineering for the new year but I'll concentrate on body work
while everyone else has a vacation.

No sense in giving work to guys who don't have their eye on the ball. :cheers:

Sparky, it's gone but wasn't the right one. :wink:

I'm on a high since those outer rims arrived.
It's awesome and I'm so happy.

Worse than finding it next door is discovering that you have it and forgot that you did.

The last vacation I had was when I was 11.
I really need one now. The wife says I should go down to the coast
for a few weeks and rest. There is a holiday home there that she owns
and it's cool but the money would be better spent on the long car IMO.

So much work coming in and the 18 hour days are taking a toll.
Dealing with the Portuguese Dakar team is tough. Great guys but
the time frames are crazy. Nearly done with that project but there are three others.

The bread and butter job is a local speed shop that caters for Italian bikes and cars
mainly but I saw Porsches, Triumphs, BMWs and Japanese bikes in the workshop.
The rumour is that the company is owned by a certain 9 time Italian MotoGP champion.

They want Carbon everything and pay well. Made a hugger mold overnight for a Ducati
and now I need to produce numbers.
