Hey G-
My sentiments with everything that has already been said.

b_reed23 · 06-14-2006, 11:43 AM

hope everything is OK Garybear

gwcaton · 06-15-2006, 07:01 AM

Hey Everybody,
Thanks !!
Not sure when I'll be back in the gym. I've changed my priorities temporarily.
Right now I'm devoting my time to getting some of my cars "restored".
Right now I'm getting up at 5 am going down to the shop and working on the 'Vette before I go to work and then after I get home and have supper, rest a bit and back to the shop for a couple more hours. My goal is to have it repainted and the new interior in it in time for the local car show/street fair the first weekend in Sept.

take care everyone,
I'll check in on you all every now and again so NO SLACKING !!!

Gary

DeadBolt · 06-15-2006, 08:25 AM

Best of luck with the car bud!

Pylon · 06-15-2006, 08:37 AM

You know, Archie and I are a lot closer to you than Burner. We could take care of the test drive for you pretty easy.

Good to hear from you, G!

Burner02 · 06-15-2006, 08:59 AM

Hey Gary,

I am sorry that you have gone thru a tough time there. I pray that everything now is better for you.
Now let me get this straight, you have traded the weight room for a shot at being Tim "The Toolman" Taylor? Sorry, I have always wanted to say that to someone and this is the first and probably last chance I get.

Anyway bud, thanks for the welcome back, I am looking forward to your comeback once you see fit. Either way, I'll be thinking about you....

Archangel · 06-20-2006, 06:05 PM

BRother Gary, take the time and ENJOY!!! Glad it's going okay for you my Friend, you are and have been in my thoughts and prayers!!!

What Brother Pylon said, works for me!!!

b_reed23 · 07-12-2006, 12:29 PM

I miss you Garybear!!!

Burner02 · 07-12-2006, 12:32 PM

been wondering where he's been....

Archangel · 07-12-2006, 02:37 PM

Just letting you know your in my thoughts and Prayers, hope all is well my Friend!!!

gwcaton · 07-13-2006, 08:55 PM

Hey peoples ! This "restoration "stuff is hard ! I'd rather be working out ! LOL But I know mw and if I don't do it this way it will not get done. Evertime I think I'm ready for the primer/sealer i find something else I want sanded and painted. LOL Hopefully by the 20th I'll have the whole car in its first full coat of high build primer . After that it's another slow go. Prime. block sand. prime, block sand until the panels are straight as I can get them. Basecoat will be a breeze as long as I don't get runs or dirt in it . the clearcoat will be even easier ! Should make my deadline though.

I shall return in Sept. even if the car is not finished . I should weigh in about 300 by then !!!!!!

take care !
Gary

Burner02 · 07-13-2006, 08:59 PM

Hi Gary!

naturaltan · 07-14-2006, 07:50 AM

Post a pic of the vette when you're through. Personally, if I had the choice between working out and fixing cars (my truck), I'd choose the truck

Fitgirl70 · 07-14-2006, 08:30 AM

Oooooh, can't wait to see the finished product. But boy do I know what you mean!!! Sanding, finishing and repainting the Challenger was a mess...when we pulled the engine, it was me that got stuck in there doing all the sanding...

Wheeeewwwww, what a job!

**CowPimp** · 07-15-2006, 02:01 PM

Fair enough, but you have to provide pictures when you're done. That's the only stipulation.

gwcaton · 07-20-2006, 08:40 PM

Hey boys and girls !

I was getting tired of sanding, sanding , sanding and finally getting some primer on and then sanding , sanding , sanding that I took the t-tops and "finished them just to see what the final results might look like.

here's a couple of pics. Still needs a little more wet sanding and polishing to get some more of the orange peel out but all in all it's they are 50 times better than they were. If I get more of the orange peel out that reflection of the window will look more like a mirror image .If the rest of the car comes out this good I'll be very satisfied.

How's everybody doing ?

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
