Re: The Project Havoc....

Re: The Project Havoc....
See Nuke, everyone is happy, you gave them a fix!!! The pedal car does look sweet, always wanted on as a kid. Maybe I will have to build one to haul in my truck. The Camaro looks good too!

Re: The Project Havoc....
James just read through your build, and my lord you are quite the craftsman! Love your truck and more so your attitude about it. Its a truck build it to look killer and perform better then ever and just drive the pi$$ out of it. I have to say this is one of my favorite builds and I look forward to seeing it complete. You have definetely helped boost some of my creative juices and wish I had half the talent you have. Hopefully I will have mine "project Fed UP" a quarter of the way done by the time you are winning trophies with yours

Re: The Project Havoc....
Well guys, i have something to say to all of you. This was an extremely hard decision for me to make but one i had to do, as of lately i know most of you know that i have had problems with my arm doin what i do for a living. I also have hardly been on here lately, so sorry about that. I have kinda felt lost. But it is good news for me, and the family and my future.
Well, in my trade, there is only three places to go, or should i say move up. Buy a shop, become a shop forreman or work for the insurance company as an appraiser, and around her we only have one insurance company SGI, government run. Well, latley by the end of a work day, my arm has been killing me and i wanted to go work in the shop BAD, but i could not, had to let the arm rest, well the day before x-mas i had a job offer. I went to it and listened to what they said, after x-mas, i went back and they made an offer to me. One the i can not refuse. I loved what i did for a living but i have to take care of myself first before my boss. Well i went and sat down with my boss and said that "i have something to tell you, and this is kinda hard for me to do". He looked at me and told me, " I alreadly know James, and if you do not take the job, I am gonna fire you so you have to" well that was my decision. As of wensday i am now a Gov't employee doin appraisals. The wage is good, great benefits, pension, every second friday off, MY "DOR" or day of rest as they call it. The transition has been exceptionally hard for me but i am getting there, at least i know all of the other appraisers there, makes it easier that way. So i am no longer in the body work/ restoration trade, but do not fear, I am still gonna do it at home at nite, i have more ambition now than ever towards working at home, makes me feel good to have my hobby back as a hobby and i can enjoy it. Trust me, working on cars for a living is great, but you also get nowhere, no pension......... This was the best decision i could ever make. Also the hardest, but i am sure it will be worth it. One morre thing to say, since my wife has gotten back to her job from mat leave, they have treated her like crap, she lost her desk...... everything, and she was one of their top accountants. So as of monday she also has a new job, better pay, pension, the works also and it is only 2 buildings from me. Gotta love that, she is so excited and nervous. All i can say is that 2010 wil be a great year over 2009, at least for us. Just had to let you all know. Later James

Re: The Project Havoc....
James, GOOD for you! I'm 64 years young and have been a car guy for 52 years. Cars are best enjoyed as a hobby. Your wife and daughter are the purpose and most important reasons to stay healthy. Body work is hazardous. I've lost parts of both Lungs and my Bladder to Cancer brought on by related chemicals used in your former trade. You are about to make a Negative, (your injury) into a positive by starting a new career. (Sorry if I'm Ranting.).

Sounds like the stars have aligned for you and your family, and it could not have happened to a better person. Congratulations to you. I hope that we still get an occasional progress report and maybe a picture or two. Don't get lazy behind the desk!! ![]() Slick.

Re: The Project Havoc....
Well, The other day I got sick of putting my el cheapo bead roller in the vice so i whipped up this stand in 20 mins. Works way better now. And here is some more teaser pics of that Camaro i am doing. I left work and the owner decided he wants me to finish it, so i have to finish the other two first and then it will be coming to my house to finish. Makes me happy, i really did not want to leave this project.
