Hello Everyone,
I'm
back and it feels great to be back! I want to thank those of you that wrote to
me. It helped me get through that awful place. If I didn't get a chance to write
back to you, don't think I didn't appreciate your letters because I did and I'll
never forget it.
While I was gone, some bad
things happened with my '59. The bodyman that was working on it never finished
it and his buildings were bought out. He called my father and told him he had 3
days to remove it. Luckily my friends came through for me, combined efforts, and
got my car and all the parts out of there. Here's the bad part, the car has
quite a few paint chips now from being towed, the body man apparently pried off
my gas cap (modern locking type) so now my filler neck is damaged beyond repair,
and with the job not being finished, he owes me some money in my opinion.
First off, does anyone have a
filler neck for a '59 that they'd sell to me? Let me know. Also, should I pursue
getting some money back from the bodyman for incomplete work or is it more
trouble than what it's worth. Should I just walk away? I have a good friend that
works at Maaco that is going to store all of my parts in his garage and work on
the body in his shop after hours while I'm in tech school. He can be trusted.
It's shame I met him after I had it in the body shop. When I return from
tech school, it'll be ready for re-assembly and I'll be good to go. Well, have
to run. It's great to be back.
Take Care,
Frank
