Now the providers need living arrangements for aging baby boomer car car guys with a big community shop attached.

Thanks Doug, yeah a bunch of my car buddies, said we need to build something like that, but we haven't done anything yet:lol:...Jim

Looks like a nice place for her, she should be really happy there.
Is it closer to your house than the last place?

Thanks lower. The new homes are on the same property, but about 1/2 mile from where she was. So really not much difference...Jim

"ON THE ROAD AGAIN". Well, yesterday I took the truck in for safety inspection, got new plates, so I was all set. I drove it today also and put about 30 miles, runs and drives the same, so I'm real happy. After it got dark I aimed my headlights, and took for a short drive. Can see everything great.

I want to say a big THANK YOU to all the members that followed on this sometime, up and down, work to finish it up. Mark and I appreciate all the response that you great guys and gals have shown during this time. I'm sure there will be other improvements further down the road, and it will be posted.

For now, we will continue to follow your builds and adventures...Jim

Oh, I forgot here's a couple pics.

what a complex color that is, sometimes blue and sometimes green. I could swear its either. I love colors like that, like how some red/oranges are.

congrats on driving!

Thanks joe, you are correct, because it is a teal, it seems to change depending on the light, or the camera...Jim
