[QUOTE=Cosmo mentis;624594]Mario,

We 'deserve' an update on your beastly '6Niner...


#allLatGthreadsubscribersmatter

Just didn't want to keep posting pictures of boring ''sanding'' pictures because that's all Mike and I have been doing! But the good news is, I have come to my senses and decided to return it to Troy at the end of this month.I came up with many reasons to do this . I looked at the main reason and that was ''time'', I work close to 100 hours every week witch only leaves me with Sundays ,I'm only able to get 5-8 hours of work in. At that pace the car will take another two years to complete!!!! The second was getting all these finished panels and parts back to Troy with out damaging them. Troys shop is two hours away something is going to get F^CKED UP! And that's not counting going back and fourth from my house to my shop. Plus my friggin garage is a disaster its going to take me a week to get that clean! So now it will go back to Troy for him to finish the jamb work and engine compartment, and some small detail work. I have all the exterior body done. Then once Troy finishes I'm going there to lay the color on at his NEW SHOP!. I feel this is best . I have to come to a end with this project and this is the only way its going to happen. Troy wants two cars at Columbus this year. One for Street Rod,and one for Street Machine. So that's about it ! Stay tune!!!

Good update Mario!! Very smart decision.



We'd all like to build our own stuff in our own garage and be able to say "I did that".... but the reality is.... it takes WAY WAY WAY more time than we think it does. It usually requires some help too! Like "hold this" while you bolt something up.


Love ya buddy!! Glad you're moving forward.

I agree. I think it's a smart move to have Troy finish the work. Good luck Mario!

You couldn't be more correct Greg. I really had a hard time justifying having somebody doing something I do every day.

100 hours a week, where do you fit a life in that?
