Nice! Making quick progress and as always, very well done. (2thumbs)
 
So Josh, is this your full time project right now at work, or are you hopping around to a bunch of other things while trying to focus on one big job, like my boss makes me do here...?
 
Looking good Josh. Gorrilla's paint better with their poop. Wes that made me LOL.

That's usually how we work too, one big job at all times, then smaller ones mixed in between. If we just did big jobs all the time, we would lose our asses. The small ones are where you make the most money, because we can slam them out quickly. There's never enough small jobs to make an entire paycheck though, so you need bigger ones to help fill in the gaps.

As of now though, yes, this is my only project. I told them to limit what they give me, because once the baby comes, I'm taking my week long vacation, and we can't have insurance jobs sitting around for that long just because the tech took a vacation. Yea, other techs can finish the job up if need be, but that's always a pain in the ass. This works out good because, it's customer pay, and it's a race car. I'm sure Mark wants it back ASAP, but I'm also sure he'd understand the delay if it took another week because we had our baby.

As it turns out though, Steph is going to get induced on Monday, so I'll be able to get this car done by Friday since it's all I have to work on. Then I can go on vacation without having to leave jobs half done for someone else to finish. It's worked out nicely!
 
Nice! We'll see whats up Doc. That's the 6 Hours of the Glen, so I may not be able to make it out.
 
Great job Josh! Looks awesome, and glad to see that Doc is back on track with the RX once again!
