Am I to believe that Chepsk8 is reading the directions, while his daughter is NOT reading the directions?

Shouldn't that be the other way around?

btw.....With two of you working on it, why isn't it completed yet?

She had it right, You should know when you get to that certian Age you forget what you were doing.

And it prob would have been done if he had spent the vacation time on it.

Then The Twins might have showed up.

If the twins showed up, Deanna would be building the entire car!!

I've been looking for a pic of a Cobra with just the Gurney stripes, but it has not been easy. The color I'm lookin at is the burnt oranange I've seen on New Chevy trucks & cars. Just a little more "orangier" than the indian fire, without being too "tangerine".

I'm up to Vermont this weekend to go to my office at Hemmings, then will be hard at work on the car next week while the kids are still out in Vegas with thier Mom.

YO! Dont just take that boring drive across I-10. Take I-8 into Sandy Eggo; then up the coast! It's a much more scenic drive (and if you call me ahead of time) I'll be standing right there at the last exit in Arizona with my thumb out!
















No, I'm not gonna flash a little leg!

Yeah, but think about it - the open road, the roar of the smallblock eating up the miles; what an enjoyable trip it would be!

Depends on what road you take - at least in the "deep south" of California. Even I-8 from the river to San Diego can be bumper-to-bumper; but 78 out of El Centro is a great road to run if you like twisty hill-climbs.

You did say "up the coast", right? If I remember correctly 78 dumps you at the 5 around Oceanside. That's alot of bumper to bumper up to OC or Fontucky.

Hey, thanks for the hand - sounds like a plan. I'm also thinking of another option; talking two local guys into taking their KR 'verts (yes we have a second one in town now) up there
