Outlaw's Project '84

[Tom Bryant]

I was just wondering a couple hours ago how you were coming along. I must be psychic.

 

[Outlaw]

Maybe so Tom...

Just been a big mess around here and my health hasn't been the best for the past few months...

Guys are supposed to come in the 3rd Week of May to pour the Concrete and then will be able to start Garage. Should take about 4 Weeks to complete and will then be able to re-start on the Project...

 

[bossvette]

I was also wondering where you have been, well take a deep breath and go to work when the concrete arives.

 

[Ken]

Ah! There you are! Welcome back, now get to work! :L

Seriously, it's good to hear from you again.

 

[Outlaw]

Thanks guys for the warm welcome back...

I have missed everyone here at CAC...

 

[Ken]

Okay, time to fill us in with what the latest happenings are Outlaw. Is the garage finished? Have you started back in on the Vette yet? Enquiring minds want to know.

 

[Outlaw]

Hey Ken...

Health has not been good these past few months and haven't gotten much done at all...

Concrete, Heated Floor Lines, Water, Telephone, TV, CAT5e, and other necessary lines have been stubbed up and ready for the ways to be started...

I hope to get a little better where I can start back in the next month or so...

Corvette Project is sitting out in the weather and has been very depressing to me. Hope to put the baby in the dry soon...

Thanks for asking and will report asap...

Also need to get my contribution into Rob. Guess $50 would be better than $5...

 

[Ken]

I hope you start feeling better soon, Buddy.

 

[Outlaw]

Finally, an Update...

Concrete Floor is poured, 2 Ft. Block Walls are layed, and getting ready to start on the 7 1/2" Exterior Wood Walls...

Hopefully, everything may get back to normal here in a week or so...

 

[Ken]

Glad to hear the news Outlaw. Hope you're doing okay.

 

[Tom Bryant]

Glad to hear the news Outlaw. Hope you're doing okay.

Me too. I also hope you get your shop finished before the cold weather hits.

Tom

 

[Outlaw]

Surely have missed all you guys...

 

[Ken]

Missed you too, man! Welcome back.

 

[Outlaw]

I'M BACK!!!

[Outlaw]

Forgot to post this in the last post, so I'm adding it here...

Been a rough 3 years since I was last here, but feeling better and getting ready to start back on my project. And from the looks of the 1984 Corvette it looks like I'm going to have to start from the beginning again...

Going to set up a Website in the following weeks so I can get all the Pictures that were once in this Thread back online, so that'll be better...

Sure have missed you guys and looking forward to getting back in the groove and finishing the Project...

Welcome back Outlaw.

The biggest change you will notice is that Ken is no longer with us; I miss his humor, advice and patience every time I have a problem with Thunder.

CAC is still the only place to be on the web.

 

[Toms007]

Well, Outlaw you have been gone for a while. After reading some of this thread I'd be interested in seeing the pictures. And here's a welcome back. Where in Tennessee are you?

 

[Outlaw]

Thanks SPANISHVETTS and toms94 for the welcome back.

Now please explain to Me what happened to Ken...

 

[Toms007]

Thanks SPANISHVETTS and toms94 for the welcome back.

Now please explain to Me what happened to Ken...

I believe Ken past away this past year (someone jump in here and verify) from some sort of cancer. I'll do some checking, as I recall it wasn't pretty.

 

[SPANISHVETTS]

Ken had been waiting for a Liver transplant for quite a while. Time ran out before a suitable Liver was found.

;helpIf you have not already Please sign up as an Organ Donor. We do not need em when we are gone and it might save someone else who is as good a man as Ken was.
