Very nice :)
Yes, I am.
I gave the shop until tomorrow to see some progress. I will see what
happens, but I do not have a good feeling about this project.
I live also close to John, I think, since I am in Missouri City. Maybe I
will be able to lash some goats to tow together the car there at some
point, after I gather all the parts lying around.

Konrad,
You are a member of Space City Panteras, arenat you?
John Taphorn has done several restorations now.A Here is a photo I
shot at his house in Sugarland a few weeks ago:
The yellow car on the left was submerged to within about six inches
of its roof last year during the floods. I drove it during my visit
and it is totally perfect now. The green car was a bare metal tub at
one point, and JT did all the body work and built it into a Profiles
centerfold car.
Call him!
