i just realized i learned a valuble lesson this week!

i have been planning on going to fun ford in ennis, tx this weekend and i knew it was going to be close(since i didnt get to start till sunday night) on whether or not i could get the car ready for the show. i had asked my dad if he wanted to go and he said that if he went he was driving the stang so before i had even had a chance to start cleaning one of the cars i had another to clean in a deadline that i could have got 1 cleaned in. now on thursday i have almost finished 1 of them and started tearing apart the stang to clean it and install new parts. and i have worked on it everynigt after work till almost 9 everynight and then going to work in the morning. im beat down and not looking forward to the weekend anymore. im now needing someone to come and help me clean it(my dad) and install the new parts but he wont help. i have a goodmind to just tell him the mustang just aint going. i figure i will pull a mostof the night on friday and tonight to get them clean and new parts installed. i would take off friday but i have taken off like 3 days in 2 weeks so i think it would be frownned upon.


i also had to do a brake job on the stang and i had to install door rubbers and little parts

it dont have to be perfect.

they always should be as close to perfect as you can get them.

if not



why show it?

i dunno man, ive seen several "work in progress" cars at shows that draw alot of attention.. but thats all you man. time and budget constraints SUCK! i know the feeling.

i feel bad during the day from the cleaners and the time spent working on it.

polishing is a bi**h im arms are sore and im staring to dose off.

i WILL NEVER DO THIS AGAIN UNLESS SOMEONE IS WILLING TO HELP THAT IS INVOLVED.

If I was closer I'd come and help you. I figure it's a good 4hr drive one way. Basicly I'd tell your dad to either help clean his own car or he can hear about the show when you get back.

both cars are mine tho

what city do you live in?

thanks for the thought.

fort worth is the city farbeyond

this is why i dont go to shows but like once a year

I was planning on going to ennis is why i asked... but i have too much on my plate right now. if you were closer to like longview i would definately have come to help out. im right on the tx / la line in shreveport

i have family out that way. its about 3 hours i dont blame you. thanks tho

Thats wouldnt be too bad if there was beer handy and i didnt have to drive home the same night, but i would have to come up with a hell of an explination for my wife lol

beer is easy to come by but the explaination may be difficult

Wait.. beer could BE the explination!! ha! 2 birds.. 1 can of beer

dont mind me, i need help

lol

Forth Worth is more like 5 hours from my home town.
