No worries Tim, I'm not ruffled in any way. Like you, I'm just trying to see something to fruition. The guy I originally had in mind when I first posted in this thread a long time ago has had a rough couple of years and is currently relocating (again). He does have an extensive formal manufacturing background in sheet metal fabrication and tooling, and a personal love of A Bodies, so he's worth waiting for in my opinion. It's been this long since our cars were new ... what's another couple of decades?? :-D
