No Not yet. He doesnt really want to sell it but since he started working downtown he just walk in to work and the car just sits there until the weekend roles around and what he pays for insurance its just not worth it. With all that being said the car is a blast to drive so I hope he keeps it.

I was content doing all this work on a garage floor but it sure helped a ton being able to work at my chest.

Its lucky that F&F is in the military and the base has a garage with 8 lifts. No spring compressor? Come on they are $6/day to rent. Or I just bought a cheap one for $35. You guys should have had spring wars shooting the caps at each other. That would be legit.

One other perk about the army. They ran $6 an hour for the lifts, and $3 an hour for the flat bays. All tools needed are provided except specialty only fits one car type stuff.

I had a great time doing this, and am looking forward to tomorrow helping dondo!

Buy beer when we get dinner. Beer + Me + Tools = A dragster wing and funny car exhaust coming off Mike's car.
