Now I don't know how I am going to say this.But here goes nothing.Out front I am tell you all I know better.Ole Yellar project van was based on a "friend" who worked at the tranny shop(he being the guy who worked rebuilding the trannies there) for a guy I have known for over 25yrs.This "friend" then left the tranny shop and partnered up with a repair shop saying go ahead and get Ole Yellar and the V8 donor van-that we could work together in that shop which has all the trimmings lift and all.So not having a work space/shop of my own-I put it all on the line based on this "friend's" word and what he said he would do with me.

If you have been wondering why I haven made much progress on this project it has been because this so called "friend" has been putting me off and is about the laziest pc of crap I have ever met.Now he is leaving this shop to go to work at another place where he couldn't work on my project at all.Long time ago-sure enough learned the no one works on projects like the owner of the project.Dammest thing is all along,I have had cash in hand to pay him for his help.To say I am major ticked off is to put it lightly.Another lession learned long ago is you got to have a useable shop to work in.
So come Monday/Tuesday this wk the shop owner where the donor van is, is going to drop the sub-frame-V8 engine and tranny and wiring harness out of the donor for me.He is also going to cut some patch pannels I want for Ole Yellar out of the donor and then send the donor to the crusher for me.So bear with me because I may not be there for the pictures for that part of the project.
I will be looking to rent useable work space to finsh the work myself.Then the work will flow like a mad man looking for a faster van.And the photo's will be all there as well.Once I open my toolbox-the camera speed may not be able to keep up with me.So the next pic will be me standing in front of what I have rented for a temp shop with a big smile.In a way-I am glad this turned out as it did-can't wait to get back to wrenching again.
Well the is my story as it stands right now.Please forgive the rant,but I just couldn't help from venting.
Thank all of you for your time,
Gary
