Good luck. Hope it turns out how you want it to. Is this a shop you've worked with before?

Frame is done at the body shop, will pick it up early
next week and then drop it off to be blasted/coated.

Getting the last pieces I need for the entire front at
Super Chevy this weekend from Tim. (Soon as the
frame comes home then it will all be put together)

Still waiting on part of the rear suspension, Bummer

Still looking for 2 tires for my New 17" shop rollers

(I know, I know, I know, worthless without pictures)

Depends on which phase? Looks like MAY will be
roller status month, I'm working on my "needs"
list right now to place another order with Tim. I
might, I say might, be in a position to put body
back on around the time for Ron's in JULY. But
a lot of things need to happen for that to work.

When's your wife going out of town so we can have a weekend to work on this thing??

If you didn't save bolts then you are pretty much screwed and are going to just have to make a thousand trips to Ace Hardware.

The extra Blazer cover will keep dust off it when I can't work on it :wink:

Woody & I thought we saved 1 of everything, but I'm missing some :sad:

:oops: Sorry I didn't show up or call on the 15th. I am having another round with my left leg and for the first time since my surgery last year it is swelled and red above the knee. It looks like I'll be going to Nashville to the VA hospital Monday. I will probably be asked to be their guest for a few days and I'm not going to argue this time. As long as it stayed below the knee I had a buffer zone. Now the next step is it getting into the main part of my body and that can't happen. So if I'm gone for a few days I'm in the hospital but will have my cell so I can check in. I'm going in with the same attitude as I approach everything, hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. Will be in touch. :exit:

No work to speak of, sorry. But Tim e-mailed me
and said he was ordering all of my Brake lines &
fuel lines today and they would be drop shipped
to me from the supplier. (Maybe this weekend?)
