Build Thread '83 T-top Coupe - Welding Holes in My Rear

EXCITING NEWS!

I got a place to put Doby besides my garage!

A friend of mine has a covered area that i can take her to. He also has a trailer that i can take her there.

When Doby exits the garage....in goes Robby!

I know i said i had a shop where I could build him, and while that would be nice to have that area. It won't allow me the hands on car time i'll really need to build it. The wiring harness has been weighing on me. I know i can fix it, but it will take some serious hands on time. Besides, y'all know the silly hours that I can work on a car when it's just a few feet away.

It's still going to take about a month(ish) to get the blue car here. Work is picking up slightly, but i need it to pick up a lot to buy a set of coilovers for Doby. I'm on the hunt now for cheap ones that'll get Doby back on rubber.

Jeez this is good news for me! With me needing to replace the floor boards, fixing the wiring harness, etc, etc.....

Ok, confession time.....I just might be......in love with my car I mean hell! I must be, right? i spend more time with it than just about anyone. I spend money on it like a drunk sailor at a strip club. I think about what i can do next for it before i go to sleep. On weekends i'm reading stuff to understand it better.

Is there some sort of legal status I should seek for this?

Like legally intoxicated?

There you go Allen. Actually, i just started enjoying adult beverages a short time ago. I fell asleep waiting for my daughter to be through with the cast party from her high school play. She woke me with a text. Once i've fallen asleep and get woke up, even after an hour of sleep, it'll take me three to four hours to go back to sleep.

Oh, that sucks. See, you really do need that car in your garage..

I've been dying to see it painted. Please take note that you are killing me!

Is the covered area you are taking Doby to similar to a car port? Or is it actually enclosed?

Oh he knows it's white snake. probably has a set of official whitesnake fingerless gloves, that could've universally worked with every single one of the "one or none hit wonders with hair" hair bands of the single worst era for music in history.

Instead of " is this love that I'm feelin" they should've sang " is this the only hit that I'm singing".

That's it,...I'm unliking everything I ever liked about you.

Motley Crue, Poison,...every freaking band with the word "white" in the name should have their master tapes demagnetized.
