Or rain, or wind (ok maybe if the wind was helping me from behind) or any kind of inclement weather. Iwill say this... I am counting down the days till the body meets the pan. It is getting very, very close. I had to make shims for some of the body mountsbecause the replacement parts weren't exactly the same. I've been looking forward to the day they get back together. I sure wish my Grandfather wasalive to see what I've done in his honor. He did see all the other cars I've done and was very proud of me. But it would be sweet to have him here inthe flesh. He was an inspriration to alot of people that knew him. More than he knew. He inspired me to be the best I can be in this profession I chose (orthat chose me).<br><br>Anyhoo.... Watch for the next few updates. You will be shocked.<br><br>Steve (Stevie to my Gramps)<br>Stephen Michael Cushing to my Mom !!!<br><br>

I haven't seen Steve around much at all lately.... hope all's well... and yes, I'd love to see an update on the Bug too!

Hey everyone.... With the economy the way it is.... I had to put the Bug on the backburner for now. And the $$ I need to spend to finish it is being saved fornecessary expenditures. I don't want to just let it sit, but I have to. It is a luxury... no matter how much I try to convince my wife otherwise. (Ican't blame her though, I've just decided that it has to be this way) I've also pretty much stopped buying reds too for now. Thanks for noticingI've been missing. That makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.<br><br>I have to say this too, our shop has been busy since the first ice storm we had just before Christmas. For those here that work on straight commission like Ido know that you have to make hay while the sun is shining. And right now I'm turning over 80 hrs a week. That is good news for the Bug project $$$ wise.I've also been doing some side jobs for some extra cash.<br><br>Steve

Wow, Steve, 80+ hours a week plus side jobs? I just have no interest in *anything* where I could put those hours in without getting burned out pretty quickly!Anyway, thanks for the update. It's not the "bug fix" I was hoping for, but very understandable!<br><br>Jeff

High School basketball games, volleyball, Purdue footballand basketball games, family get togethers, dates with the wife and time spent with my extended family. And favors to other people in general to build upfavors back to me (aka government jobs).<br><br>As far as "burn out", that just doesn't happen with me. Especially when cars are involved. I really truly love what I do for a living, and itdoesn't end when I clock out. Right now I have a nephew and niece playing High School basketball so that takes up time in the evenings about 4-5 days aweek. It is worth it though to spend the time on them.<br><br>Steve<br>

The fact that I love it doesn't hurt any. I had plenty of jobs early in my career I hated. In fact this economicsituation is very similar to the late 70's when I was trying to land my first job.... noone was hiring then either. It suck's for Jon (my youngestson).<br><br>Steve<br>
