Well, I am officially Lemans-less.
Feels like crap to be honest. I just wanted to thank everyone who has helped, given support, or just been along for the ride. It was really fun until my health went to hell. Most likely my fault, overweight and under active, and eating crap. Younger guys don't wake up one day in your 50's and find yourself falling apart. Getting older is bad enough without doing your best to make it even worse. I honestly doubt if I will be back here, so I guess this is goodbye. Russ |

Sorry to hear this Russ, sucks to let all that hard work go. Just concentrate on yourself for now and who knows...you may be back with a new project before you know it! Good luck!

Well, I guess I came back.
I just posted a wanted ad in the parts section for a free car. Hopeless I know, but it can't hurt to ask, right? Russ |

you are in the right area, a lot of cars in your area just sitting there "not" rusting...

am I back for good? that is a good question.
Guess it depends on if I ever get another project and what it is . so far I am striking out on my wanted post. Of course I didn't honestly expect anyone to offer a free car. My birthday is coming up in a few months, maybe I can get a relative to buy me something. hahahahahahaha. My preference would be something that is exempt from emissions testing here, which means 1966 or older. But up to around 1979 for some cars would be ok. Been looking on craigslist here in Phoenix. Seen several cars that would be fun at a cheap price, but when you have absolutely zero to spend it is really just depressing to keep looking. Although I just spent the last half hour doing just that again. Sometimes I am convinced I must be a masochist. I miss the fun of the parts hunting most. Maybe someday my finances will allow it again. Have to worry about getting a decent job for that to happen though. Current job flat out sucks. It's just something to get some money to pay bills until something better comes along. Russ |

Russ nice to see you back. If you really want something to tinker with, maybe you should expand your search to non Pontiac vehicles. And you could try offering to do some work for someone instead of $$. Before I got my Lemans, I found a guy with dozens of classics on his property. I mentioned cleaning up his property, cutting the grass, hacking down the weeds. I think he would have made a deal, but all his stuff was sitting outside rotting away for years so there was nothing there for me at my skill level.
