Whoa man... lol.. Were knocking heads so badly with parts that have wandered off of the years that we have had to re-buy 40% of what we have already bought.. They still think we owe them money, yet I took over the restoration in their shop with their tools last September.. When I got there it was a fiberglass tub and half built engine. I have done everything minus paint and for good reason I was in the restoration buisness in my younger years and became a great fabricator and welder (I THINK MY WELDS LOOK DAMN FINE!! Nobody else thinks so.. LOL).. But we, and by we, I mean and have to fess up, the Cobra belongs to my stepfather. I had a falling out with my ex-fiancee in another city and got the hell out of dodge. I see her all the time in court but thats another story for another day. I decided when I came home to my moms and the aviation industry was in it's slump to take over ther restoration of the car for him. We are just trying to wash are hands in this shop and they are doing the same to us.. So it's kinda like were on our own but they will provide me the tools and knowledge any time as long as our Cobra leaves there bay and never comes back. lol.. Were in good spirits and have fun at the shop, but how many mechanics do you know would give free rein on the tools and a shop key to someone they really don't know. They just want it gone and so do we.. lol.
