No I think not JW I would enjoy seeing your car and what your doing. It's not about witch one is better. Trust me mine has some mistakes I made and thank God I didn't rebuild my engine. lol
Gonna shut this build down I can't afford to finish my car and shutting my internet down at this point I can't afford any more parts and not being able to work screwed everything up.Calling the internet server tomorrow and shutting down. Canceling my cell phone service as well.
Will be here a few more days. You guys are great....

I know the feeling. I put the brakes on a whole bunch of stuff.... My Pontoon is as good as it gets right now and the car can keep collecting dust.
I'm very lucky and know it. Always willing to do and learn has separated me from the pack in my field of work and for today atleast I am busier than ever... Chin up Fred, with your skills plenty of work will come your way soon enough. Maybe even more than you wanted lol...

Thanks JW good things have to show up soon.

Sorry to hear that you are stopping the Scamp proect and work dried up. Governor is opening up on May 1, does that help you any? You have my phone number if I can help out.
Gary your a good guy and really thank you. I have 3 kids with the virus in Fargo right now and they are essential workers and one boy that had to go to Texas for his job and hope he comes back clean.
My car takes a second seat to my kids our grand kids.
Been pretty busy here and not a thing I can do.
Sorry to read Fred. Positive thoughts for you and the family. Cars take a back seat to lots of stuff. You got amazing skills from what I see that can translate over to another line of work.
Be safe and well.
Be safe and well.

BUMMER ! Been following ur posts -----
I'll be back as soon as I can catch up on my bills just takes time.
Fred here is a work-a-round for phone service if you cancel your cell phone service.
MagicJack Home
Voice Over Internet
MagicJack.com
You may have heard about this, I have this setup to go with my Fiber Optic Internet Service after canceling my landline with my local telephone service.
The MagicJack Home
VOIP Adapter is available at best buy stores for 49.99
SKU: 6308777
Comes with 1 year free service, and renews for 39.99 a year after that, no monthly bills. Plugs into your internet router, if you can keep that service alive.
Works independent of your computer once activated, then don't need to have a computer running all the time.
If you have a decent internet connection they work great, slow internet not quite so great.
Works well for me, I needed a dial out service for my Freeze Alarm for when I go out of state.
Thanks I'll check it out. That would be real good for me I want to take off next winter but afraid of my house freezing up.
That Freeze Alarm has been working out great. You can call in from out of state and it tells you your house temperature.
Has a call out to your out of state phone, a friend, or neighbor's phone if the house drops below 50°.
Has a little 9 volt battery if the power goes out, it will still work.
Even calls out if the power goes out. Pretty handy deal to make sure house does not freeze up while away.
I always drain my water down, just as a saftey backup.
My internet service stays on with a computer and 3 web cams, then I can log in from out of state, see the inside temp, and look out the basement window to see how much snow is on the ground.
Since I got the Fiber Optics Internet Service, this remote access is working so much better, rock solid connection.
Technology is so Great . . .
I have fiber optics just don't know enough about all the new tech. stuff.
I need a system like you have and also a camera set up around my house new neighbor hood kids are going around steeling stuff. Took my wheelbarrow not long ago had to go to there house and get it back. They put a big hole in the bottom the little *****.
The power of your Fiber Optic service there is quite phenomenal. The thing is it Downloads and Uploads at the same extremely fast speeds.
Lots of internet services download fast but only upload at one tenth of the speeds.
So yes Fiber Optics service is far superior, hope you can harness that great resource there.
I always say: The Power of the Internet !!!
Life Changing Stuff . . .
Yea and I got a lot to learn but getting there.
Between asking the proper questions to Google Searches and YouTube "How to Videos", a person can learn and answer questions about anything you are interested in.
Been doing that a lot mostly on buying parts for my scamp and so far most everything I got for it am real happy with. Internet sure makes part finding easy.
Window and rear glass rubber and the molding clips and that's about it to get it on the road.
Got a good friend on here that gave me a set of bucket seats but found out it's cheaper to buy new then take and recover the ones I have. Last is repaint the upholstery and install it and paint the hood.
That's about it, I figure about another $1500 and will be done so not much left.
Hope to be back at work sometime soon and will get back on the car and re hook up my internet.
Usually you can just suspend your internet. How are your kids feeling in Fargo?
