I agree with everything you said.
I knew exactly what I wanted. He and Dave knew exactly what I explained to them… and it's NOTHING they haven't built a gazillion times.
When he said he'd send me a paint panel for my approval - I said - don't bother… if it's good enough for you then it's good enough for me.
All that is saying is that -- you're right -- I'm not having my first kid. Close enough is fine. I'm not laying awake at night stewing over the car of my dreams and whether or not it will turn out EXACTLY the way I dreamt it would/could.
Oh hell yeah - I'm excited about it… We all love our cars! But I'm a bit more "MEH" about - as you rightly point out - the gazillionth version. I'm actually more excited about starting to think about the next one…
I need a project for the new shed in SV… and that's where the rat rodded (kinda sorta rat rodded) '40 might just come in. Or maybe a Radical… or maybe build from scratch a track car… So much time and so little to do.
YEEEEEEEHHHHHHHAAAAAAAA

Sometime you want to decide everything, or close to it.
What you say above, that is part of it right there isn't it. This car isn't supposed to be one where you touched every piece and made every little decision. That because you've been there done that.
This is your x0? build? Now if it was your first rodeo, or even first at this level, then you probably would still be the guy causing the delays. But this time around that isn't your goal.
I'd say this car is more analogous to special ordering a Lambo or Ferrari or some other high end factory built car. The builder already has the formula you are just asking for a couple custom touches on your high end driver.
Anyway I can't wait to see the final product in Pomona.
