I know, like I don't have 3 other irons in the fire already! Since my 50 GMC has to be done for Bonneville tbis year and the datsun is almost ready for wiring and plumbing I was trying to line up my winter fab project. I can do one of 3 (have oarts to start any if them) 1: 35 ford pick up, chopped, full fendered, tube frame with C5 vette running gear. 2: 35 ford pick up turned roadster speedster stack injected cad northstar no bed just rear and tank hanging out with 32 frame rails and dropped I beam. 3: 29 Essex coupe, heavy chop, channel, bbc severe motor set back 60's drag style / altered with pie crusts and zoomies. Vote now! Win nothing!

Still crazy after all these years!
A sensible and prudent man would finish what he already started.
Are you sensible and prudent?
You don't have to answer that.

I think the Essex would be pretty darn kool for a winter project.

Ugh no it is FT. 8 hour shifts to boot so it is 5 days a week. Only me and the chief so I am always in court or headed to the lab on my time off. PT in the town next door and I do mechanical repairs / metal fab on the side to pay for the shop stuff. But the wife and kids are gone during the day. I work 4-12 midnight so I usually get a good chunk of time in the middle of the day to knock stuff out. Mostly just a workaholic!

The patrol does 10 hours here....
Gives them 3 days off but command is 8hr 5days......since command is me and the Chief....I field calls at home if anything goes down after I leave at 11or on the weekends....then if the Chief needs to be notified....I call him...our DB is 5day 8hrs too....but we've trained all the officers as ET's so no call in needed there.....just me.. Also helps to live about 3 minutes from the department.....
Guess I'm just getting slower in my old age...lol Just don't burn yourself out....

I jumped in with the majority and voted for the Essex. Jeez, I'm kinda embarrassed by how little I've done lately after hearing about all the projects and things you guys have going on...
