I'am also trying to get the power windows in and working properly.I'll start on the console next, I think. Bill

mrmagoo02 on Jul 17, 2015 said:

My Ladyfriend just gave me the rear disc brake kit for the car. She really is a HONEY!!! Love you Trish and thanks so much.

mrmagoo02 on Mar 19, 2016 said:

Can any one help me, I'am having a problem finding the 17 digit serial number on the car. I have located the 10 digit serial number on the frame. Just don't know where the rest of it is.

mrmagoo02 on Jun 10, 2016 said:

Found out today that the frame number of ten digits were all they had in 54. That really had me going for a while.

azmusclecar on Jun 13, 2016 said:

Looks like you have some sweet helpers when it comes to parts.......great project....keep it going.

mrmagoo02 on Jul 21, 2016 said:

Thank you very much for the positive comments, azmusclecar. Most of the parts are being made by me,but I will keep going on her. I had a couple of strokes last year, and that has really slowed me down, but I plam on doing her right here on this site. Bill

ghpcnm on Jan 14, 2017 said:

How goes, my friend?

mrmagoo02 on May 3, 2017 said:

Sorry ,I haven't posted anything for a while. I had to have an operation a couple of months ago, and just now felt like getting on here. I 'am doing a lot better now and getting better by the day. I hope all is well with all of you guys.

ghpcnm on May 3, 2017 said:

Good to hear from you. I hope you're feeling better. You were missed.

mrmagoo02 on Jul 20, 2017 said:

Thank a lot. I'll be back in here as soon as I can.

mrmagoo02 on Jan 23, 2018 said:

Hey guys. I hope that all of you had a great Christmas and a good New Year's day. I just today dot a thumbs up from my doctor on the operation. He had to do a roto-rooter operation on my right corteroid artery. He said the left one was 100% blocked but I''ll live over it. lol I hope to be back in here soon. I have to learn to weld all over again, so be patient with me. I promise I WILL kick this thing in the ass. lol Love all you guys Bill

ghpcnm on Jan 24, 2018 said:

Good to see you back on the forum, Bill, and it's even better to hear that you're feeling better. Take it easy, follow your doctor's advice and you'll be back in the saddle real soon. My prayers are for you, Dave

mrmagoo02 on May 31, 2018 said:

thanks for the praying ghp I need all the help I can get, lol. I'am having to learn to weld ,all over again. that strokes just about messed me up. It will just take me longer to get the car done , but my Daughter and son- in-law said they will help me. they are great kids. Thanks again, Bill

azmusclecar on Jan 25, 2018 said:

Welcome back...as Capatin Kirk used to always say: Steady as she goes Mr. Sulu..........so steady you should go. Our days of WARP drive I'm sure are warped behind us, but we left a hackuva wake when we were young.

mrmagoo02 on May 31, 2018 said:

Thanks for the helpful coments , azmustlecar. I'am trying real hard to get all back togather. Just gonna take a while. Bill

mrmagoo02 on Mar 9, 2019 said:

Hey, Guys.....this is Mr Magoo's Daughter. I'm sad to say, but Daddy passed away on the 26th of Feburary. Me, my Husband, and my youngest Son Samual are going to finish the car. Daddy loved this car so much and everyone who gave even the simplist of pointers to him! I will try to keep you all updated on the 54! I'm on here also as LittleMissStang! If anyone has any helpful comments or anything that Daddy might have discussed with you that we might need for the car, please let me know! I really appreciate all of you who have interacted with Daddy on this project. It was a labor of love and he was determined to beat this "Impossible" Girl! Now, it's my goal to do it for him! Thanks again! Veronica

Brandon on Mar 10, 2019 said:

So sorry to hear about your dad. It's rough to lose a parent.

mrmagoo02 on Mar 25, 2019 said:

Thank you, Brandon. Yes, Sir it is very hard! I, like most girls I believe, was a Daddy's Girl! I just hope that I can do the car justice like he wanted!

So sorry to hear about Bill's passing. Although I never met him personally, I felt a kindred spirit with him. He is greatly missed on this forum, but his legacy lives on. Please keep us posted as you continue his work on Mission Impossible.
