6 minute(s) of a 93 minute read

Yeah I'm moving right along huh!
I was kinda wondering if I was ever going to get all my parts with how slow my work got this winter. Hell January hit, And I have been SLAMMED like a Mother Fu(ker. 
And as for the list I made before winter, I almost have everything from the list. So I guess I'm doing pretty good huh?
Hows the mustang coming along? I see you were trying to sell the Z! You ever get any interest? Or sell it? When are you planning on having the car out? I'm ready to hit the track with my lil racing buddy! lol
