Rebuilding the coupe!

THANKS TEAM Z!!!!!!!!!!

Dave offered some help with the rebuild and generously donated a few suspension parts that needed replacement. He also took time away from his lunch break to setup my k-member in the assembly jig to make sure it was still straight(it is). Thanks again Team Z, I appreciate the help more than you know!!!

If you need any help turning wrenches once it goes back together let me know.I'm always free on sundays :D just shoot me a PM kind of in limbo right now with my car being at TeamZ.
Looking good so far I really like the blue!

Sorry, no real progress to show this week. Mike has been sick, but has the doors and fenders almost ready for paint. I tore down the motor over the last few days for a checkup, and everything still looks great. I have a new set of BME alluminum rods and Diamond pistons to go in, so the crank will need a rebalance.

Yes, it is very nice. That is, it's nice to see there are still some real "car guys" out there who are willing to help someone who is in need. The kind of guys that WANT to help, and go out of their way to do something generous, while expecting nothing in return. That's what a "car club" is all about.

Then, there are the type who sit around miserable and jealous of those who may have something nice. The kind of person who expects something for nothing most of the time, too selfish to help another. Never willing to go out of the way for anybody, and always asking "what about me?".

So, what type of person are you? I hope neither you or anyone else never have to go through something like this, you may just find out who your friends really are. Luckily, I have a few good friends! ;)

If anyone deserves a hand it's Joe P. Other than being short is pretty much the nicest guys around.
 
This I why I knew I liked you, straight shooter telling it like it is. Well said.


PS. I would have LOVED to see the first response prior to your edit!!!

Since I can't figure it out, just imagine a video here in this box of Dionee Warwick singing that's what friends are for.

Sorry for the fail, not sure how to do it and too lazy to look.

I have one of these...lol

BTW can't wait to see this thing back out. I got a thing for Bud Light Blue! And if i lived closer, i'd offer up my services everyday my wife wasn't threatening to change the locks...lol
 
:finger: Screw you guys... :roll:

Anyway... Nah, I'm not mad. But I really hope that's not the way people feel. I'm as guilty as anyone for botching up my wording in posts, but I'm also man enough to admit when I make a mistake, appologize, and hopefully just move on. So, let's move on! :icon_bigg
