Do you have a job?

[Slider79SC]

Full time 50 hours a week....

I think I am in trouble

[surflvr911sc]

LOL, you think?

Second question, are you married?

Good Luck!

[Slider79SC]

I am married..

Thank god she knows that I am in over my head and tells me to go out and work on it.

I just finished this up last night. (one more coat of paint tonight)

We'll if you don't plan on sleeping, you might just make it.

[surflvr911sc]

Nice work, looks like you did it yourself, the stiffening bead is a nice touch.

[Slider79SC]

Thanks,

I can't take credit for the panel though, that is a TRE piece. I just did the painful part..... cutting my car and welding it in. By the way, the horrible looking welds on the side and where the AC blower used to be is seam sealer, not the welds......

But with two drivers (me & the wife) it needed additional oil cooling ability.

Yes

You could move to Montana, the winters are really long.

Hang in there, you'll get it done!!! Once spring hits, you'll have sufficient motivation!

Anybody who posts the word deadline in a Porsche thread is on crack.

Doesn't Dr. Pate (SCWDP) live in Montana? I'm sure he'd welcome a guest who needed a long winter to finish a project.

As to your deadline, I think it's perfectly reasonable, assuming you mean March 31st of '05. Now, if you could persuade your wife to /work/ on the car, instead of just allowing you to do so ...

PS -- where /did/ you get that crack, anyway? If you don't mind sharing your source, I'm always on the lookout for the extra-good $h1t.
