Bought mine in 1989......now 8 months into 2012 it's approximately 30% done by current standards thanks to Lat-G. Never done is quite obtainable at this rate. :drool:

I should have added something like "How long did your initial plan take you to complete", but what are you gonna do.

Yeah....Lat-G stands are constantly being raised by all the pros around here. Still...I like a good garage build and those cars are cooler in my book. Some of our members here have built some amazing cars on their own.

5.5 years for my 63, with a lot of scope creep. Hoping the next project will be 2.5 years. Started the 69 off with a Carter Hickman rendering and a good plan. We'll see how that goes. :cheers:

I'm not picking on you, just accepting my reality vs. others.
It's interesting to see others perception of their builds. Some are like girlfriends, some likes wives, and some like life-long friends. :D

I bought my car 1.5 years after I was first married.......the car has her beat by 17 years. Though the car could be much nicer considering the fiscal setback of the divorce........but we're still together and it's appreciating. :unibrow:

You guys are just Lazy!!!! :rofl: :rofl:

I did my nova in 3.5 months.and that was after work.
I had some help on the bodywork and had Gary do the wiring and Exhaust.

I would loose interest long before 2 years went by. but i understand why the timeline ends up there.

I normally expect a build in the shop to be between 8- 13 months depending on the body repairs and modifications needed.
