Had to chuckle a bit when I saw the picture, at least you had company ! looks like a parking lot got flooded. I'm Guessing you managed to get everyone unstuck ? Nice work on the car so far, close call on the Black Widow, I really hate those things and they get into everything, we have a lot of them where I live in Idaho. When I was little my grandparents still had an outhouse, and that thing had spiders in it.... scary stuff. Keep up the work and keep posting pics of your progress !
