It's been a long time since I checked in here, ever had it where you get right to the end of a build and suddenly "real life" just sweeps you off your feet and the garage just seems so far away? I don't know what happened to the last three months, work, real cold weather and a bad dose of the 'flu meant I hardly looked at the Ranchero, let alone did anything to it or drove it! Still, things have settled down now and it looks like all the unread threads are going to keep me away from the TV for a while.
I've been there done that, except for the almost finished part. It's good to hear that you're doing better!
