There is no specific deadline...There are things being done on this project that have not been done before. It is easy to put together a dated time of completion if you are building a cookie cutter car that every variable can be forseen but when you are going into an area of unkown it is not something you can realistically pin down a deadline and as such no deadline was given or promised and that was agreed upon. The frustration we both share is from the owners "push" to finish it for this show...he is excited about the car and wants to drive it but the patience isn't there at times as well as the experience with building a car like this as he has never had a car like this before.

Every time there has been a game plan change he has been there, we have not just proceeded without his input. Other factors that were not forseen are things like the economy on his end as it affects everyone so naturally he is going to show some concern there.

In the end I don't think he realizes the kind of car he is going to have and I think once he drives it he will finally realize it....in one discussion we had he mentioned wanting to build a Factory Five Cobra and one major thing he didn't realize and what he probably won't fully realize until he drives both and compares them is that this car will blow the FF Cobra away in handling but without a comparison of either car he just doesn't know what to expect.

In the end it just gets frustrating to be pushed when you are creating something of this level. As far as deadlines go....I don't promise deadlines on restorations or builds....There is a saying that I like....There is right now and there is right.....we do it right not "right now" if someone wants a rush job then I politely tell them that they would be better off going elsewhere...if they want it right then I'll be happy to help them. Rushing projects leads to shortcuts and inferior quality builds....you see them all the time.
