Another show Lady- Why does your car say Corvette on the engine? We have a Corvette and your car doesn't look like one. LMFAO

No real updates. Got too tied up working 100 hours a week. Downsized the shop though a couple months ago so that'll change now.
That and it took about 4 months for all of my new sheetmetal to come in.
However, I now have all new exterior sheetmetal, quarters, doors, nose, tail pan, roof, rockers, etc to go on. Hoping to catch up on shop work I the next couple months then get back to it. Really hoping to get the car out next year. Killing me watching it sit there in the corner under a pile of boxes lol.
Here it is sitting in the new shop looking all sad and lonely...


And us picking up all the sheetmetal. Saved myself almost $1,500 in shipping by ordering local and waiting for it.


And that's about it for now. Damn real life getting in the way lol.

Shelving stays. That's where all my random parts are getting stored.

Lift maybe eventually. I'm in no particular rush though.

The shop looks like it will be very nice! Hope you have a good location.

Are you cutting down to 90 hours per week?

Thank you. Still got a few odds and ends to attend to but I'm up and running. Location is kinda out of the way but honestly I prefer it right now. The majority of my work will follow me wherever I go and the nice thing about here is it cuts our overhead into about a third of what it was so we don't have to stay busy just to break even.
And way less than 90 hours a week lol. More like 50ish lately. I feel much better and am in a far better mood! Much less stress this way too. The night job covers the house bills. The garage is basically to have a place to play with our own stuff
