There is some one coming out from Arizona on the 18th for the tanks if you want to see if he will bring it back for you.

How do you find working a full day on a customers vintage project effects "production" on personal projects in the evening? I'm a small scale restoration/car builder full time and sometimes (most times) I don't have alot of ambition to spend night after night on my stuff as well.

Its getting harder to do any more when I drive a hour from work to my shop and work until 10 or 11 some times and go home just in time to go to bed for the next day and start all over.

Oh man, that car is awesome!

tomsprojects · 12-10-2011, 01:46 AM

If any one is interested here are a few more work pictures. The first one is a old GT 40 that is crazy fast and the second one is a 1 of 12 built dragon snake built by Shelby for drag racing back in the day.
