I also did a major audit of all my expenses so far. I haven't logged every rattle can of primer or some misc hardware from the welding shop but all corvette parts are now logged.
btw..
I wouldnt recommend anyone with 2 teenage girls and a toddler taking on a frame-off on a vette... It is so hard to stay focused.

Thass otay, Ben....when you get it done, it'll be PERFECT! Always best to take yer time and do it right the first time. You've been doing this one for so long, ain't no sense in getting in a hurry now!
It's definitely starting to take shape. Congrats on a job(MANY of them) well done!

Joel's email a few days ago shocked me into action, I logged on my website and realized i had pretty much not touched my car in 8 months.
|UPDATED|11/8/2011 12:58:07 AM (AZT)|/UPDATED|
I remodeled my kids bathroom, opened a new casino in another state, took a few vacations, attended a few out of state meetings and seminars, did quite a bit of work on my jag, bmw and my saturn which became my daughters 16th birthday present. I started a new business with some of my co-workers and I have a very busy day job. Just this last week I replaced the central heat and air package unit at my home as well. So I have been busy.. just not on the corvette.
I did some work these last 2 days just to break the pattern.
and while I was working in kentucky for the most of the summer I did get to visit NCM with the family.

That sounds like you Ben, busier than a one-armed paper hanger.
The project is looking great.
And super documentation.

Ben, great to hear from you. Still looking good. You are putting so much time and effort into this bad boy - time to start shopping for the force field to put around her when she's done!!
