Ok, I think I have forgotten what a sunburn feels like. Ouch. I feel like a post toastie. Still in AZ. I should be starting the rebuild on the 283 when I get back. Take care for now!

So far yes. I am still working out whats going to happen to the shop. For now the guy who lent us the money for the business loan is keeping it for saftey reasons so he doesn't get screwed. I don't blame him. I just wish I hadn't used it to secure that damn loan.

How's the blue streak going? (I.E. your truck)

kyull67 · 07-08-2008, 12:24 PM

Runs like a Champ! keep us posted.

Richard8971 · 07-22-2008, 07:51 PM

Looks like I need to find another '67 to build....

Richard8971 · 08-05-2008, 11:10 AM

Hey guys, back in Oregon and trying to put pieces back together of the shop mess. Looks like things may not be as bad as I suppected regarding getting my truck freed from the loan to the shop. I will talk to Sam today and see what he says. I'll keep you posted.

Hey Rick, thanks. I had a great time. How are things with your '67???

D

Richard8971 · 08-21-2008, 12:46 AM

Looks like I will be getting my truck back in the next couple of weeks. Sense I don't have the shop anymore and work up in Oregon sucks right now, I will be moving back to Tucson for a spell. So I will have to drive back up there and drive it back. It's going to cost me a little more than I had hoped to get it freed from the loan, but I will write it off to a lesson learned.

toomanytoyz · 08-21-2008, 07:30 AM

Don,

I Hope all goes well with your relocate, On the Bright Side you will be Closer to your Son & You Did'nt seem to like Oregon that Much . I Hear You About Lesson Learned, Maybe it will turn out to be the Best for you in the Long Run...............

I'll take plenty of the trip and some when I get back.

Richard, Nice to hear you will get to keep the truck. I have had many life lessons. and believe me the ones that dont kill ya , make ya stronger, and wiser. From what i could see with the build on your truck you should have no issue doing paint and body from the house, or anywhere.
Good luck in the future buddy.

Hey thanks for the encouragement, we all need that now and then. What's funny is that some of the best work I have done has been out of my own house and garage. In fact some of the cleanest paint jobs (aside of the occasional bug, or two... or three... landing in the paint) have been out in the open. If I wasn't going to get my '67 back I would be looking for another project. Lots of clean '67's in AZ to rebuild. I'll keep you guys posted when I head back to get her.

Richard8971 · 09-14-2008, 10:14 PM

Hey guys! While I'm waiting for things to get organized so I can go get my stepper, I figured I would hit a local car show today and post a pic or two of some Chevy's I saw.

Later for now!

The last one made me want mine back even more!

my67chevytruck · 09-15-2008, 01:16 PM

Don,

Nice to hear your getting your stepper back soon!
