-Baer brakes
-gutting interior and making custom diamond plate dash.
-SVT conversion for engine
-many other mods as usual
-I swear I will never finish this thing the way I truly want it
Starting new fabrication business
Work is starting to pick up (14-16 hour days) overtime is nice after 20 hours I am at triple time.
I need a break and several gnomes to do my work for me. Anyone know where I can pick some up for cheap?

I will post some tonight. I am not as far as I want to be but it will not take long once I have all the parts that I need.
Mike you busy bastard. lol we miss you in Lincoln.
I'm still plugging away on the talon. I just ordered 850CC Injectors so when I go to Souix Falls for the meet I can lay down a mid low 12sec 1/4 time then drive it around town doing the same thing at every light. :)

Currently working my butt off, When I got this job I thought "Cool, I'll be outside playing with trees and plants, How relaxing" I never dreamed that there would be 100's of people coming in every day to buy them. I sometimes work 10 days in a row, and put in 12 hour days. But the great thing is my discount. I can get Gold Class wax for $8 instead of $12! Too bad I don't have any time off to use it.

Finished tearing up my wood floor tonight, so I can work on my car tomorrow. I am going to start pulling the interior apart. So expect to see some parts up for sale soon. I am going to diamond plate the dash with some swapping of the gauges. I am going to have to see how it works out.
Tired as hell, the stupid person that owned the house before glued the floating wood floor to the concrete. An absolute idiot. I had to hammer drill out 4"x4" squares of it individually. Some people should hire real professional sometimes, not there drinking buddies. At least next time it will be ceramic tile instead.

you think ceramic tile is any better the guys that installed in our kitchen put 2.5" tthrought sheets of cement sheetrock every 3" I hope I never have to take that out. It would be easier to redo the whole subfloor then remove the thousand of cemented in screws.

As for the concrete subfloor, that is common anymore and it will last alot longer than your tile. The tile will come up pretty easy off that floor and you will be able to put different flooring down when the tile wears out. Actually that is what I am going to be doing to my kitchen this winter.
Sorry Heidi, I don't think I will be able to make it, at least not in my car. I am still trying to locate a set of headlights, fenders, and possibly a hood for my car. I think I have it all tracked down, but I need to see about getting it to me. And I still have some other work that needs to be done to my car so I can make it race ready. I will do my best, because I might have my little nephew with me and I think he needs to have a dose of speed.

I have been stupid busy here at work. This last weekend was the first day off I've had in 3 weeks and still moved Ford's out of our store on Sunday.
This is now our third day being a Jaguar, Land Rover, BMW dealership. I had a good 2 hr. talk with the Vice President of our Company and he has offered me the Sales Manager position when we get the Mini franchise here in 16 months. I sold a Jaguar S-type R on Tuesday for $4,700 gross, that will be a nice comission check baby!
