Hi all. I received a PM from a new member here with some questions about his car and thought I would pop in and say hello. It has been a while since I have been on this site. I still have my bird and drive it occasionally during the summer months. Our company continues to grow and it seems like I have less time these days to spend in the garage. Hopefully that changes soon.
Happy Thanksgiving to all my old friends here and the best of holidays to all in the coming weeks!
Great to hear from you Larry! I stumbled across your email address last week and was wondering whatever happened to you.
Good to hear all is well. Thanks for checking in.

Heh Larry, how's it going? What project you working on now? I built my paint booth in the garage this summer and did a bunch of painting. With the new paint guns it sure is easier than we had it in the 80's. I'm only shooting10-15 psi vrs 60 psi in the 80's. I rigged my old furnace fan to suck out the paint dust from the booth but you get very little overspray now with HVLP spray guns.

Hey buddy! Have been kind of laying low. Redid the master bath in our house last winter. Came out really nice. This winter I am planning on finally wrapping up the LSx swap in my sons 75 Chevelle and getting the seats redone on the bird. The last guy I had do them over stuffed them and its like sitting on a hard pillow not down in the seat. I understand on the new paint tech. Hard for a old painter like me to adjust. I'd rather work with lacquer. Take care my friend.
