I just realized how neglectful I've been with the blog, and this car project in general.
The winter/holiday season is always a little rough, and I've made ZERO progress on the car. The RH quarter is off, and I still need to clean up the area and prep for installation of the new quarter. Last winter I got a few days to get in the garage and do some work, but this winter I've been pretty lazy.
So, thanks to anyone still looking at this. I will have updates. My hope is still to have the quarter done, and start on the roof (or finish both) before the winter's out. I'd really like to start re-assembling the car this summer.
I have the feeling that re-assembly will go fairly quickly--depending on how my finances hold up. This year is looking pretty grim all-around. We got fair increases at work, but income taxes are up, property taxes went way up, and I'm certain that everything is about to get a lot more expensive for all of us. We'll see how tax returns go, but I'm guessing those will be a lot thinner as well. At the risk of offending you all, I gotta say I sure hope the people who re-elected Barry the Magic Negro are happy. You got what you asked for.
Thankfully, most of the work on my car can be accomplished with a little hard work. I hope the major expenses will be limited to the engine, front brakes, and suspension. I won't worry about the interior until I have all the mechanical stuff settled.
