69 Camaro RS/SS big block, original 80k miles but was pretty rusted out it sat the last 30 years outside on the side of a barn, when the customer brought it to us we didnt believe that it had that many miles but he had bought it from the original owner's wife.

Good lookin stuff VonHyde,
easy to sit in front of a computer and think about what other people ought to get done. Thought about posting in the new "vendors" section?
believe you said you had a "shop"
 
no shop, i work for classy chassis, not all that work is mine but stuff that has been put out, the 50 chev i didnt from the ground up, i have not thought about it. yeah well always looking for new ideas for the truck project.
 
I know what you mean!!! when you work all day on cars sometimes it's tough to get motivated to do the same thing all night....just remember the one you build at night is the one that you built... not the one you payed someone to build and you know every nut and bolt and when someone asks you what you did here and there you can tell them, and when they say nice job or great work...you can say Thanks and deserve the compliment...Nothing more rewarding than building it yourself.....That's my motivation speech for today!:)
 
The painters house needs painting and the roofers house needs shingles, its only natural a car builders projects need care too.LOL Hang in there the weather will get better and you will find more energy and motivation to work on your ride.
 
i have lots of parts please specify what project and what windshield parts lol. Sad thing is i know every bolt and nut on these cars flaws in them, one thing i like about building my own is that i dont have customers trying to tell me what to do, or not knowing anything. Yesterday i asked a customers if he was taking the motor out of his 37 coupe to paint the firewall, he looks at me blankly and says im not following you. i asked him the same thing about stainless and chrome on the car looks at me blankly says i still dont follow you. mind you this guy has owned this cars for 30 years. i dont know maybe its just me but augh

how could you not understand, Are you going to take the motor out to paint the firewall? Are you going to be running and stainless or chrome trim?

At least thats what my grandma used to call working at home on the things you work on at work..... thank God all I do in the barn is now totally different from what i do at work and it's a get-a-way from work......
