Thanks to everyone who voted. I cant thank ya enough.As far as that 'one job' - they havent got their building to pass inspection or something, so it's still in Limbo.
But i have been lucky that a lot of side jobs and word of mouth are still coming in and gettin me by.

My battery was going and down to about 12.3v but thank god i had like 2 months left on the warranty and got a brand new one for free!

My Y adapter and coolant hoses had a leak, and thank the lord i replaced that before i made all these long trips because when i grabbed the old one it just cracked in half and coolant went Everywhere. Jesus has been driving me around safely for the last month i guess because it seemed like nothing was holding it together.

I put almost 2000 miles on the Denali in the last few days.
She needs a SERIOUS bath. Bugs all over it!

Hope you guys are all doin well
Cheers!

Bugs plastered from across the Sonoran desert and it still looks menacing!! This came to mind when you said, "Jesus has been driving me around safely".

Take it easy man and know you will be back in that saddle soon.

i really appreciate that, Kaleb!

yeah, the Denali has been so good to me, she needs some more love. The Riviera is at a standstill until i get 'extra' money.
She needs wiring harness, gauges, stall convertor, carburetor, gears, cam, airbags and then finally, paint! amongst plenty other things.
But i drive her around a couple times a week just because
