so havent really made any progress, work has slowed down A LOT and im just able to pay my bills now and thats about it...

have an interview for another machine shop thats a vendor for Pratt & Whitney so hopefully that works out, and i can either stay there or move into Pratt in a few years, but its about time to get a house and finish this damn car...

updates as they come i promise!!!!
