My 67 Formula S Resto. thread

Life is kid of like foottball. Working to reach our goals is offense. Keeping the spouse, employer, bill collectors, and your own body happy, is all defense. We cant know how much time will be spent playing defense but we can pray that we stay in the game. And dont settle for field goals that you may regret later. You can always back up and punt and still win. :)
 
I have not worked on the car for the last two months.Since Nov I lost both of my Grandmothers and my dog.I was sick for about month and now I am out of money.I also adpoted a new dog that has taken up all my free time.But even with no money I still have primer to keep me going.I can spend money on the Formula here and there but no big purchases for a while.I am working alot of overtime at work so that will help me get caught up on bills,but Sundays will be the only days I can work on the car for awhile.

Sorry to hear about those deaths. Taking a break from such a large project is healthy. Really impressive the attention to detail and the extent you are going to to rid that car of rust and other body defects. Keep at it and one day you will step back, look at the car, and say to yourself yeah it was worth it, and I did it myself.

Yes I saw that in Mopar Muscle. I went to AMDs website and they are 600 bucks. Glad your getting back into it,Jim. I have taken a break myself to work on boats,pool,etc.
