had my dad cruise over for a lil to check out the car since i have started getting stuff done. and he wanted to see my grandmas garage since i cleaned it. while he was there i talked him into helping me put the motor back in. and to thank him i talked him into buying me a battery and a battery tender. haha :D

hope to have my pedals and steering mounted by the end of the week. and have a good start on the wiring.

I've just had an epiphany of sorts.

Jesse has had all this trouble over the past 3 years getting and keeping jobs...Not that he gets fired, but it can be tough to keep a job in the current economic and business climate.

Meanwhile he has been hugely successful obtaining parts for is buggy that make many of the rest of us quite jealous.

I have decided Jesse should be a fund-raising Director for an established registered charity! Say Goodwill or Salvation Army?????
How can you tell you are going as fast as you can, if you don't crash once in a while to verify it?
