    We're looking at a an acre sized lot that is about 10'0" higher in elevation then we are right now which didn't get wet in Katrina.
    I'm designing a new home at the present time that my better half has approved.
    I hope to build after I sell my Mom's house.

    We moved all the other vehicles to higher ground yesterday.
    House is dry, but underside got a couple of inches on the slab.
    Low tide happened at 8:23 AM so the water is out from under the house.
    We still have about a foot in the street and two or so feet in the back yard.

    Thanks Gentlemen!

    Stalling out on the bodywork and paint truly had me stuck in the mud.
    I'm just glad that I realized my limitations and had friends (Sammy & Ernie) that could step in to get me past that point.
    The goal has always been to have a similar look to Shelby's CSX-3178, without the J-Style Roll-Bar, with alternate power (377-383 SBC) inspired by Zora Arkus-Duntov.

    Great stage for the car. It looks great. Tell me about the ramps on the trailer. I have a car hauler trailer and the ramps are too short. I have been shopping, but have not found what I think I want. Are you pleased with those and any info is appreciated.

    I don't recall where I bought them, possibly AMAZON, but these are the ramps.
