Papa,
Flew into Denver on Thursday for two days of training and there was snow on the ground and it was 28 degrees!
I'm hoping the weather gods give you a few more weeks of driving weather so you can get that beautiful car home and on the streets.
Yep - Wednesday was 79 degrees and Thursday we got snow. Friday morning it was 7 degrees when I left the house. Today I spent the day outside in a t-shirt, and you'd never know we had 3" of snow two days ago. This is typical Colorado in the spring and fall seasons. Right now, I'm just hoping that the transporter doesn't get cold feet. He warned me that he won't go if there is any snow. He'll be contacting Jeff on Monday to coordinate a pick-up time sometime the week of the 20th. I can't wait to see the car in person.Quote:

Not quite winter here yet. This was just a sucker punch. The great thing about our Colorado weather is that even when the temps drop, as long as you are in the sun, you'll usually be comfortable. Venture into the shade or get caught without a jacket after the sun goes down and you'll feel the chill.Quote:

Talked to Jeff and my transporter today. It looks like I will have my car back home either Wednesday or Thursday next week unless some unforeseen issue arises!
Very exciting news! We’re all right there with ya!:cool:

Jeff-
Another amazing job! I really admire the work you do, and the quality with which you do it!
I can't wait to see her all back together and the smile on Dave's face the first time he takes her down the road!! Thanks for sharing Dave.
Regards,
Steve
Dave & Jeff, absolutely stunning! I'm sure it will captivate anyone who gazes upon this beautiful car! I can only imagine what it will be like for you to have it finally get finished. To be able to stand back and take in all the hard work, dedication and time spent in the process. The end is near, and it's a beautiful thing! I guess it's time to just savor the last steps in the long awaited journey's end! Such beautiful work from both of you!
Dj
Thanks for this Thread Dave. You car looks amazing and is almost exactly what I want to build, right down to the color choice. Can't wait to see pics of it cruising up in the mountains.
It looks awesome Dave....... beautiful!!!!
Thanks Steve. I've really enjoyed all of our off-forum chats over the last year or so, too.Quote:

Not to rub it in, but I’m headed to Bailey for lunch shortly:cool:.
Enjoy the drive. Any color left in the Aspens still? This is my favorite time of year in Colorado!Quote:

Na. We blew it, Beth was nervous about the cold the weekend before the big freeze and we didn’t go. Oh well, there’s a lot of time in front of us - life only gets better from here.

Looking good! Seeing yours coming together has been a real motivator. Keep those pictures coming.
Jeff is done with my car!

I knew it would be awesome! Can't wait for you to get it back so we can see some video, and detail shots so we, (I mean me), can live vicariously!
Pretty sweet!
You know I will. I'll have a few things to finish up on the car once it's back. I'll post plenty of pictures as I wrap it up.Quote:

That looks absolutely blue-etiful! I Love that color and the white racing stripes inside and out is no doubt the way to go! Enjoy the final wrap-up and steps before crossing that graduation finish line. Very nice work!
Dj
