NP, we get together all the time but it's usually around Birmingham somewhere. Bham is prob a 3-3.5 hour drive from Troy. You might want to get with Gumpdriver, he lives in Montgomery he's a really cool guy. We would love to have you guys meet up with us sometime, there are about 10-15 guys that get together pretty regularly. Are you planning on going to Z dayz in May?

Damn that sucks Scott! Is Lee getting his back or is it still there too? I'm sure when it's all said and done it will be well worth the stress though. We're really interested to see what kind of numbers you guys will be putting out now. It's always nice when you can see a car come together like the owner wants - regardless of what work they are doing.

Yeah, his is still stuck up there too, needless to say nobody is very happy right now. Baisically they GROSSLY underestimated the time it would take to get them done and now that they are there our hands are tied...not a good feeling in the least! Hopefully it will all be over soon or I might have to be committed

I would bet that Lee is a little anxious about his car being gone so long! Do you guys have the option of trucking them back? If you are talking about flying up and then driving back down you may be able to truck them down cheaper.

You won't need to be committed! Just think about the grin that will be on your face once you get it home!

My sister is a redhead. She's not much of a happy camper no matter what.

Oh yeah, were both pretty much in the same boat. I checked with a couple of trucking companies and they 1) couldn't promise a delivery time once the cars were picked up and it could take another 10-14 days after they were picked up from AAM and 2)they range from 700 to 1000 bucks. We can fly up to DC for about 90 bucks one way and it'll cost us about 100 bucks in gas on the ride home.

Overall, I know the car is in good hands and they want to be 100% sure it's right in every aspect before they let it go, because it's the first one they have done and they are so far being very meticulous and very cautious with every step. I can't wait to have that grin you speak of that’s what keeps me going

The redhead has finally settled down being a CPA (and a conservative one I might add) this whole thing just makes no since to her, but she said last night "as long as your happy, I don't care how long it takes or how much it cost" Man did I get lucky or what

Now see if we had the extra money just kinda lying around I would tell Trey the same thing. Not having kids to worry about definitely has it's advantages, huh? Glad that she isn't upset about it but if she's like I'd be she can't wait for it to get home so she doesn't have to hear about it anymore.

Yes, it is nice sometimes, esp. when your as selfish as I am . Trey is lucky I'm sure he wouldn't have to put up near the fight to get it as I did! Yeah, now shes not mad she just wants it back so I will shut the hell up!
