...is a friend indeed! Although there are several interpretations, I always translate as: real friends help when you are in a time of need. And I was in real need and SgtHawkUSMC gets a huge thanks from me as well as CRG and what it provides to the hobbyist.
My Camaro has been at a body shop/restoration shop for 8 months. I got some disheartening news recently. The guy is closing shop, so he says, and would not be finishing my car as agreed. He informed me I had to pick up my car and all loose parts(many) by the end of the month. I planned on renting a trailer , but weather, here in the Midwest, is unpredictable and an open trailer was not the best scenario. In my desperation, I reached out to SgtHawk and asked if he had time to help me get my car? This was on a Friday (last week). He quickly replied and hastily came up with a plan to meet me at the shop in Ft. Wayne, In. the next day, Saturday (I am East of Cincy, Ohio, Hawk is in Mi.). I am glad to say that it all went off without a hitch and Hawk has my car at his house now. I am thankful that there were no problems getting the car and I am not as stressed and concerned about the car's well being now. I did not have a bad experience with the body guy and stayed amicable and cordial although I am deeply disappointed that I still have an unfinished car with so much time passing. I just wanted to convey the gratefulness of members, here, to help me and even though I hated to ask of this quick favor, Hawk rose to the challenge and for this I give my thanks. Hope to find someone local to finish car as another saying comes to mind: "Once bitten, twice shy". I may take it to another member, here, to finish, but this long distance experience has not been real positive.
