Since my shop is at the back of my property and we never have gotten around to paving a driveway back to it the condition of the ground is important when moving cars around. We were blessed this weekend by not having much snow and the ground still being frozen. This was an all hands event with my older daughter helping my wife and I move the car and my youngest providing the role of paparazzi. |

This day was much better than when we came home with the car from its e coating. It started raining on the way to get it at the dippers then switched to wet snow and by the time we got home the yard was pretty wet. We had to use 4x8 sheets of plywood and build a road for the cart wheels but since we only had 4-sheets we had to lift them and leapfrog them in front of the cart. That was such a pain in the ass this is way mo better. |

A little muscle from my wife and daughter and it is time to go four-wheelin' |

Okay, so maybe it is time to think about paving a road back to the shop. The only problem is I would rather put the 4-5 thousand for asphalt into the car instead of into the ground. So if there are any pavers in the SE Wisconsin area that want to make a deal let me know! |

It does look a bit strange to see a six-figure muscle car rolling over the grass and snow on a $40.00 cart but you do what it takes. |

Into the shop and it is time for assembly. When I started this project my knowledge of body and sheet metal work was very limited. I had to rely on others to help me and show me how to do things, but when it comes down to it the only person you can count on is you. This was a pretty large undertaking to get it to this stage and I have countless hours invested in it and if I can do it so can you. Ask questions, read all you can, watch people do the work then dig in and try it yourself. The best advice I got when I started this project was “If you F*ck it up, just cut it off and try again until its right” and that worked for me. |
