I've known the guy for 20 years. Part of it is my fault not being a pest
enough and not greasing the wheels enough with $.
We will see what tomorrow's results will be.
I am hoping that it will be put together and drivable then I can use the
Pantera community's help here to tune it a bit.
My fear is that the transmission will be put together wrong and might get
destroyed, though.

Konrad,
Some people are only alive because it is against the law to kill
them...
If I was closer I would be at your side helping.
Best of luck, it can only get better.

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.
