Jon-
As you may know I am building a 55 as well and trying to be different. Much like yourself I am fortunate and good friends with a designer. Jason knows him. He is all about pushing the envelope and very aggressive in his designs. He has tossed me countless ideas - and some of them are out there for most, but killer IMO. I plan on doing quite a few - but some I just can't afford, have the talent to pull it off or the time for that matter.
Below is a quote from him in an email he sent me - which I read quite often to keep me on track.
"YOU NEED UNDERSTAND SOMETHING,,,,,
YOUR DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT,,,,MOST YOUR FRIENDS WILL NOT UNDERSTAND,,,,,THAT MEANS YOUR ON THE RIGHT TRACK!!
DO NOT ASK YOUR FRIENDS FOR THEIR OPINION.
TAKE SOME RISKS,,,,ROLL THE DICE WITH ME,,,
THIS CAR HAS A SERIOUS CHANCE AT BEING JUST ANOTHER TRI-5
WHO CARES!!!!!
DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY,,,,,"
I say roll forward with it. Jason has some killer ideas. Designers are always a step ahead of most it seems. You know the old saying also.
"No risk...No reward"
Good luck on the project-
Brent
