Congtrats, gonna miss her too. After the cool build thread you did on the car most of use feel like we knew her in person. Good thing is now we can all look foward to your next build. Will it be the wagon or........................... Keep us in the loop, and good luck on the building addition. Going to do it yourself or hire it done?

She will be missed. You did what you had to do.
Thanks for the great build thread you did with her and I'm looking forward to your next build thread!

True, bittersweet. We all know how much time, effort and $you put into the car. Sure that you'll miss her, but I'm sure she's going to a good home.

One of the best threads and builds I have seen Richard. I'm sure you'll have another one to build soon with another great thread.

The money is nice, but as you know, it still isn't enough when you figure what you really have in it! Hard to put a value on blood, sweat and tears...but, there is a small sense of relief...'till you are waist deep in the next one then you say, "What the heck am I doing?".....

Richard: Really sorry to see that Oldsmobile go to California! It is truly a work of art, and have enjoyed so much being able to see it in person. Cannot wait to see the wagon, and the progress you make on it. Aron

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Once I get through having a heathly baby and get some bills behind me I will start on something that will make this look like junk. I have a lot of ideas floating in my head for the 2.0 version.

Sorry to see her go. Your thread is how I found this site. It was nice to see another Cutlass being "pro-toured" and also nice to know I wasn't the only one occasionally hitting a brick wall during the build.
Have fun with "Booger".
Mike
