    Thanks guys, I've been using Manny since he opened and have also seen a lot of the work he's done for other people. I've haven't seen a bad job from him yet. An added benifit it his shop is less than a mile away.

    Well I guess it’s time to stick a fork in it and call it done. The stripes were done yesterday. I’ve got a couple of other little projects lined up will but the big effort over the next year or so will be putting up a new garage.

    Nice job Mike! The red pin stripes sure set it off! It's like new!

    Thanks guys. I really wished my camera would take decent pictures of red. These just do the stripes justice. I need to put a new camera on the to do list next time I go into town.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Thanks everybody. Complements from the guys on this board. especially the old timers means a LOT. Thru the forum I've seen a lot of your abilities and projects I sometimes there is NO shortage of talent around this place (it keeps me humble).


    ".......NOW......................is the new garage to house a "slightly" older Dodge truck refurb...........................................PLEASE????....."


    Yes it is Bob matter of fact I laid out the outline of the building with stakes and tape this morning and then moved some running cars around to make sure I'd have "enough room" (oxy moron when talking about a shop).

    I already know which bay(s) the 37 will be built in. A couple of the "little projects" I refered to while the shop is being built is to get the HEMI on the run stand and broken in and the transmission built for it.

    I’ve been wanting to do this for a while now, I always kind of thought the red on the birdbath hood needed the engine callouts on it so i finally ordered a set decals for it. I may still add some pinstripe flourishes to the ends of it (to kind of match the rest of the pinstriping) but I think it came out pretty good.
