No progress today!
Got ropped into a trip to the mountains to hunt for Pine Cones for Xmas decorations! I know, I know - I live in the desert but we go up to a little town in New Mexico called "Cloudcroft". It sits at 8600 feet elevation and is all mountains and pines. It's actually amazing to drive up the road 20 miles from the desert and be in the pines and snow. It was nice but I would have rather worked on my project. I need to keep a little peace in the house - "Tis the Season". There will not be much progress this week as I will be in Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo till Thursday am.
I'll take this time to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Pat

I like the "bingo boingo". Very descriptive....I'll have to add that one to my vocabulary.

Looks like the Short Bus will be sticking around for awhile. Work schedule kinda killed the deal.
I finally got a few hours to myself today, and half-assed sorted out the shed.
I had no idea of some of the parts I had!
Kinda got the itch to build another one....know of any candidates? 
It kinda depresses me to fire up the Solstice on the first try, everytime!
Nothing to tinker with, or repair. I just drive it 250 miles everyday.
Getting some estimates on a new garage this week. Hopefully I can get back into the game then.
I need to get that 4.9 into something. Still wanna attempt a chop top, and a few other ideas bangin around upstairs.
You have been busy on that interior! Let me know if you need any scraps or misc pieces.
The parts shed doesn't have a lock on it. If you feel like wrestling with two 200+ pound Anatolian Sheppards, you can take what you need.

P,
Looking good! Love the jig! That's actually a really good idea. I've been working with foam core for years and one of the things the foam always does is warp depending on the temperature. Isn't foam core a wonderful thing?
I had no idea the wax would like that - another great find! For someone who is out picking pine cones - you came up with a some great tips and tricks! Now... as always... get back to work!

I knew you could not stay away from the Fiero bug for long. It's nice to have a daily dependable driver but after awhile, you miss the tinkering....or you just need a fix for your addiction. If you are going to keep the bus, that 4.9 would go nicely in there. I know where there will be a real nice - clean 88 GT 5spd car coming up for sale soon. South West Car with zero rust and nothing wrong with it. I'll keepo you posted when it's avaiable.
I need to come see you sometime soon. I need to piclk up an 88 rear bumper so I can repair the Formula. My boy is still dinking around so it looks like I'll have to fix it myself. He is getting ready to buy a new Camaro so it looks like I'll get the Formula back........It never ends....

Hey Greg,
This foam core board is very cool. Thanks for the heads up on this stuff. It works great. I figure I can glass the inside of it, then use the glass piece for future molds. I can always build another it was cheap and easy. After reading your thread, I will most likely follow your lead again and fab the complete console to get the look I want then go to glass with it. I don't know why it took you so long to come up with this idea........You could have saved me a lot of bad language..... Won't be getting much done this week. Looks like work is going to get busy just before the Holidays so I'm off bouncing around the country again. Sitting in the airport right now waiting on a plane.......
Later
Pat
