One of the things that drives me crazy is the shops that think they have years to finish something. When you get my build - you better jump on it immediately and it best be finished in 2 years or less. A shop is not going to have to wait for money, or for me to make decisions.... If I have to wait on them - or they try to play cute - or feed me some BS about how long "X" takes to do (I've personally done just about everything on a car many times!). The other no no - try to build something I don't want. I'm very clear with what direction I'm going. If you have cool ideas - I'm the first guy to listen.... but if a shop wants to go their direction and not listen to me. Bye bye. LOL Remember that I was trying to die during this project -- so there was a year or so there when projects weren't important. So this one has taken longer because of that - but mostly it's taken longer because I should have pulled it after the first year....

Thank you! The vision is pretty simple - a nice daily driver that appears to be pretty stock while running down the road. However - running down the road with Lillard, Steilow, and Capen.... that kind of "running", is running Mach 1 !! So the "guts" of the build have to be solidly capable!! LOL
