Mine was busy. I’m redoing a site that’s been up for years, and it will take me at least a solid week of working on it to get it done, but it will be worth it in the end.

No word from Bill so I’ve given up on him and moved on, but there is John … he works a lot, too, but still manages to hit me up and hopefully will call tonight. And there is still Matt … but I’m still not ready to meet either of them. But, I was ready to meet Bill but I’m not going to chase him.

Am looking at a 1966 Dodge Coronet this week. I got about 3 dozen photos today and the underbody looks good. There is some serious bad bondo work on the doors but I’d rather have door rust than floor rust. 318 engine, power steering and the interior is nice. I’m waiting for some trunk pan pics. The price is very cheap but we’ll see. It will need some body work but that can be a winter project, since I’m still having my other car done. Engine is in but not fired up yet. Custom exhaust went on but it wasn’t tight enough so it’s going back. Got the brake booster, master cylinder and proportional thingie. I hope it only takes another month since I have a bit of interior work to do on it but want to drive the damned thing already.

No regrets over passing on the Firebird. The more I pictured the frame rail bubbles, the holes drilled in weird places and the hacked dashboard, the better I felt about my decision. I have a friend in Indiana looking for a solid car for me.

It’s funny, but my Firebird guy has been emailing me all weekend trying to make me feel better but I think I’ve convinced him I’m not broken-hearted over this. He was the first person I texted as I drove home to tell him “no go.”

Oh well. If not these cars, it will be something else. I’m always looking!
