    Glad you asked!

    Well, Matt and I are starting reassembly with the focus being on getting it to "roller" status so it can go to the interior shop on Monday! The chassis parts are all painted. The body is all painted, sanded and polished. Most of the parts are collected and ready to go. Here's where it stands as of 3/3/10...

    California seems like a fun place.
    Do you guys have a ping pong table in the shop?

    The machine you fellas are building looks very well done & more importantly very cool, You guys do really nice work, which I'm sure means nothing to you coming from a dude in Milwaukee, but I think I know what nice work is.... and well that is really well done.

    Anyway, it's getting late and since the "Toddlers & Tieras" Marathon just ended & I still have some lotion left, I'd hate to waste it, so please keep sharing photos, maybe more leather shots.
    The fellow w/the totenkopf on his sweatshirt, maybe have him in sweatpants.
    Sincerely,
    Cheatercarl
