Update Time! Well.....things have taken longer than expected, but that's about to change. After 19 months of storage, Johns car is ready to head out.

Won't lie....it might have gotten tagged with some spray paint a few times by the neighborhood vandal. AKA Me.



At one point I tried to convince John to add T-Tops to the car. He didn't bite, but I am hopeful he hasn't taken the suggestion off the table. No one's doing it and it would be a first in the PT community.





To get the car prepped for transport, I had to pull the engine and transmission. Pretty easy to yank.





Thankfully these cars don't weigh much empty and I was able to roll it down the driveway, alone, without any issues and position it to be loaded into the trailer I recently bought.





With the aid of the race ramps and a small wench, the car went in effortlessly.







If everything goes right I'll head out to drop it off and pick mine up next weekend. I'm sure Mr Wizard will have some fun with it.

I am happy to report that Johns car arrived safely at Jims and should begin the transformation process in about a week or so. Pretty stoked to see how things progress.













Now that the car is in the surgery room, Jim can get started.









John...thanks for allowing me to be part of the process. I am looking forward to seeing what you and Jim do.

I almost forgot I own a Camaro! Thanks for all the help Curtis! I talked with Jim he's going to take a few days to relax after getting Curtis' car out. Then he'll start work on mine. Should be fun!

Default Things are happening!

Well we've been busy around here between the new house, outfitting my new shop, and oh yea I got married, somewhere along the line Curtis hauled my car up to Jim in Stockton. Jim knew I was slammed with work and the wedding so he was holding out on me (as if I wouldn't want an update on my Camaro!!!) he's started in the rear of the car, and is moving his way forward.

He's been working on the tailpan, and the decklid trying to get the gaps right. From what I've gathered Jim is not a huge fan of the panels I selected. I'll leave that out the quotes as I don't want to be booted from the forum.

I'll shut up now








he ended up welding the seam up completely because the metal is so thin.
