6/8 is full
6/15 is possible
6/22 or 6/29 are better

I need 3wks advance notice to get a Saturday off, so there's that too.

There's a chance I could do 6/15 weekend too. 6/16 I believe is father's day if that matters to anyone. 

The following 2 weekends in June I am not available though.

Once the weekend is figured out I may be able to stop by, though I don't know how much actual help I will be.

Ok i am getting tractor borrowed to do my septic this month because june disappeared.

 

I'm setting in stone august 17-18(we can start on 16) book it we need to get moving on this car. I have a white board and will have a clean work area by then, I need hard deadlines. 
 

september will be labor day weekend or the next, whichever works best. Talk amongst yourselves for that.

8/17-18 is open, but Mrs. gumby just left for 6wks and that is her return weekend. I need to think on how I feel about this situation.

Labor Day weekend is likely open as far as I am aware.

If labor day weekend is open for you then we can set that E36 M3 in stone too. I'm at the cabin basically the last week of every month through November.

What kind of things should we plan on bringing? Tools, materials, etc.?

Honestly tool wise there's probably nothing we need that I don't have. Do we need metal for the tunnel and firewall? Have some appliance sides that were free kicking around. 
 

this is where my head is at right now 

 

it wasn't supposed to be this way, but it is.

Thanks to Patrick and his friends, the trans tunnel and firewall are almost done. Thanks to Brad, Keith and John for the extra help.

when we ended sunday around 4 the tunnel was built, one of the two driver's side firewall panels was cut and the first of two closeout panels for the passenger side was in. The rear bulkhead is also now part of the car. I've identified a few spots here and there that need a little more weld and my goal is to get the firewall done and anything else welding wise in the interior complete so things can get seam sealed and painted. 
 

Also axehealey was instrumental in even being remotely ready to be able to start working Saturday morning.
