hey guys
well i just finish telling Jack that I'm taking the car out of his shop in April. done or not . it's been   two yrs and it still looks like that picture
he's busy on other cars  and my car gets neglected. i start  it up every 3 weeks and heat it up .. winters coming and at least its in a heated shop . thats why I'm giving him till April.
  i don't know how I'm gonna get it done but I WILL HAVE THE WING AND NOSE ON IT THIS YR!
even if  only to primer .  i would luv  to give hotrod98 my car to build and just give me back a finished car. I've never had a car built for me. that would be cool but he's so far away. Larry we have to talk.
  I've got all the parts. nose is together and functional.

Rene, I have another two beautiful wooded acres next to my place here in the rolling hills of northwest Arkansas. Pack your stuff and head this way my friend. The new shop is almost ready and I'm driving to San Antonio next week to pick up the new paint booth. We'll build lots of mopars around here.  :2thumbs:

I'm selling my boss hoss motorcycle this spring. it's worth about $20000 . half to the daytona and half to the new house .
i am definitely leaning to sending Larry my car . then flyimg in and driving it home. i trust Larry and i know he is a talented fabricator.
i gotta find some way of getting the car and parts to him at a reasonable price. to make it worth while .

I live about two hours south of Bella Vista near Fort Smith. My brother-in-law lives near Bella Vista and builds those multi-million dollar homes for all of the Wal-Mart execs. As for land values, they're very reasonable in this entire area. Land with a mountain top view can be bought for as little as a few thousand an acre depending on how far from civilization you want to be. In the area where I live, two-acre building lots run from 30k to 60k. The problem with the low cost of land and housing is that a lot of people are moving into this part of the world. I guess it's that way in many parts of the U.S. though. While it doesn't get extremely cold and seldom snows here, it's does get hot as hell in August. I figure that's a small price to pay for the mild winters though. Our car show season hasn't even ended yet.

Stuart, I have your trunk closeout panel back here at the shop. I'll be ready to start on your car in a few weeks.

Rene, there's a guy near here that transports a lot of cars across the states. In fact, he had a couple of second gen chargers on the transport last weekend. He might be reasonable. I'll try to get in touch with him. If we can find him deadheading back from your area the price might be reasonable.
