Thanks, I hope it goes well too. Wasn't something I was looking to do, but once we started talking about it... We've got some things that have to be taken care of soon and need to get the funding.



The more parts I get and the more research I do, I'm fast exceeding the limit of a built 6 rib. Getting closer to a Mendy or P-car trans. Obviously on the back burner for now.

Looks like it stays in the states. Guy from Colorado was the winning bidder. Now if only it all goes through.

He's got that for a very good price, I bet you have spent multiples of that building it! I'm sure you'll be sad to see it go, hope you get on to the bug soon now

Yes, my wife and I had this very discussion last night. Very sad to see it go, money was lost but I was rewarded ten times over by the fun I've had and the friends I've made because of it. I am NOT out of the game but do have some priorities to attend to. Even my wife acknowledged that I had another project I am dying to get into (something more hardcore) but need to get some major things handled right now.
On a side note, anybody priced 16,386 square feet of concrete lately? Believe me, it is a humbling number.

Damn,,, I didn't know it as going on the block. I love that Bus and will hate to see it leave the club. I'm sure you will do another project down the road.

Thanks guys!
The new owner is in town. My wife met them and said they really seem like nice folks (I'm stuck at fire station till am ). She said he really likes what he sees and is looking forward to getting it loaded tomorrow and headed home. He's retired military and retired Porsche tech. Pam said he was quick to pick up on all the subtle stuff.

I am eager to start another project with all the stuff I learned from doing the panel but like Zen, I gotta handle some big expense stuff first. I hope to come back stronger than ever with a more serious looker.

I can't wait to see the new project too. It's hard to see it go I'm sure, but it's nice to know it's going to someone that can fully appreciate the hard work.
