There is Hope for my Mustang!!

Nothing has gotten done on my Mustang for awhile. It is sorta my fault since I lost interest for awhile while grieving the loss of my Mom. Another problem, was funding. That has been our problem from the beginning. We were able to buy a bunch of parts for it in the beginning of 2009 with our tax return, but have not bought much since then. We have still been able to do some things without money, but we are getting closer to the point of needing to buy more things for the car before we can proceed.

So I recently changed jobs. Because of changing jobs, it freed up some money that I could not access before. So with that money I am able to access... it should be able to pay for the majority of the restoration. I do plan to use tax return money also which should hopefully be enough funding to finish the car. So I finally feel like there is hope for it.

I guess that was one of the biggest struggles is financing a restoration. Now that that obstacle is pretty well out of the way.... it makes Mikal and I even more anxious to get back to working on the car. So hopefully I will be back to blogging again soon! I even went out to the garage today and spent some time staring at the car (since that's about all I can do with it at this point). Mikal and I discussed our next move and the things we should be able to get done. I really want to be able to have the car done in time for the Tuacahn show in 2012. Mike and his dad think that it is possible.... so that's what I am going to push for. So hopefully we can get back on track and just get her done!

The Car Stalled...

Wow I can't believe it has been 4 months since my last post on this blog. It has been even longer then that since I did a post on progress being made on my car. The car is sorta on the back burner right now. Don't get me wrong, I would love for it to be done, and someday I am sure it will be.... but it just hasn't really been a priority. I still go out and look at it in the garage and dream about what it will look like when its finally restored, but that's all I can do right now is dream. Hopefully someday soon we will be able to get back to working on the car, and I can go back to doing blog entries on the progress we have made. Until then, I will just have to stick to dreaming.

Tuacahn Car Show

Mike and I got to go to St. George this last weekend for the Car show that was hosted at Tuacahn. Tuacahn just happens to be where I went to High School so it was fun going back to my old stomping ground. Tuacahn is also a very beautiful place and the perfect setting for a car show. It was funny because as soon as we pulled in to Tuacahn, tons of memories came flooding back. I talked Mikes ear off for the first hour of the show just telling him about the fun times I had going to Tuacahn High School.

The car show itself was a lot of fun. Its always fun chatting with other club members and just enjoying the atmosphere. It was nice and sunny and even got a bit hot for awhile, but it was manageable. They were doing the Saturday Market at the same time as the car show so we were able to some window shopping. It was really a nice show and I rather enjoyed it.

After the show, we took a cruise with the other numoa members through Gunlock and over to Pine Valley. I have always loved that drive and thought it would be a fun one to take everyone on. It turned out to be a good cruise with only a couple times we had to turn around. So all-in-all, I think it went well.

We then had the awards banquet which wasn't bad... but awards ceremonies are always so LONG! After the banquet, we got to go tour the Bryners' house and also got to have ice cream cake at the Paiges' house. It was fun chatting with everyone and just getting to socialize. I am really glad that we were able to make it down for the show. It was well worth it!
