Thanks bro !! Here's you a more recent sneak peak, seeing that you are an appreciator of fine art.... Still in base coat, incomplete , partially unpainted & mildly still in mock-up, but about to be finished stage..:sifone:.. The bike tank is DONE & will be picked up tomorrow (well technically today).. I will try to post a pick of the tank sometime tomorrow.. Man I wish I had more time to do the stuff I actually enjoy painting on..
Almost forgot.. FedEx left a couple goodies for the fuel system yesterday..
Kinda funny b/c my father ended up having some words with the driver partially due to me not being there at the time they came by.. I had tracked it earlier in the day so I knew it was coming & just before I left I told the guys at the shop not to sign without opening first.. The driver didn't like that idea to well & was trying to tell him that, but I think dad's "selective hearing" kicked in..
Got the driveshaft, xmember, flywheel, clutch and pressure plate all boxed up today then did some chopity chop on the 24. Fun day. I'm sore as an MF and itchy to boot, but better than workin'!

Yeah, I often take for granted getting to go in & work beside him all week..
Its funny what some of us call a "fun day" So do you need me to go down the street & pick up your torque converter ?? I love it b/c you know that cars not to far from going full blow "project"
As odd as it may sound & as lazy as some of you guys probably think I am this is actually Saber progress...
I wasn't gonna post no real pics until it was delivered but I broke down & sent pics to the recipient so I thought I would go ahead & post them here as well..
Thank guys !! I really love getting the opportunity to be creative & really wish I had more time to do cool stuff like this b/c it the part of my career that I still actually enjoy doing..
OK since I posted up some pics of other non boat stuff & I'm having a "proud daddy moment" I can't help but post a pic of my current favorite.. Its what my youngest daughter brought home today from kindergarten.. She won it out of her whole class for her time in the 1/2 mile run.. What makes it so great is that 4 years ago we were told by her rheumatologist that she may not even be able to walk well at this stage in her life, let alone run !! She's also about to finish up her 4th season of soccer as well...
Also attached a shot of her 2 seasons ago after they won the 3v3 tournament that year.. That's her in the middle standing on the side of her ankles (only b/c she can't stand still long enough for a photo.. haha) & No before one of you smart azz's asks that's not me in the lime green shirt & the goofy hat...

Gotta love the socks.. She's the "trendy" dresser of the family..
Thanks, No joke on the 11 year old deal.. My oldest girl turns 11 in june.. I gotta say my kids are usually pretty simple in what they ask for, but we hear alot of Ipod & cell phone.. The Ipod is a consideration & the other is not.. lol..
