    Nice! After we visited on the garage crawl I was wondering how were able to do all the stuff you do in that other place.. Looked kind of cramped in the back rooms. Thanks for having people over that day.. the best part was the old pictures of scorpion on the walls.

    Plan on being back over tomorrow to try and get some more hooked up for you. Tuesday and Wed are gonna be it till Sunday. Set up night at Autorama on Thursday and then thrash on Saturday on the sedan and then back at your shop on Sunday. We will get it done. Enjoy your vacation. Just kidding

    I don't want to start any rumers, But it would sute me if you could move in to my shop and we could work togeather. I think our work would compliment each other and you could quit your day job. I guess time will tell what will happen at 2017 Silver st. Garland TX.

    Ha! You can't get away from me that easy. I have many more projects for you, maybe even a new rod. In the meantime, let me know if I can help in any way with your new shop. I plan to drop in unannounced soon and criticize everything.

    Damn you found me! Just come over any time, I got my inspection from Garland Fire Department today. They had trouble looking around the shop and looked at the dragster and other cars. One didn't even know why they were there.

    Thanks dwrfab Don Ross
