I applaud you in you efforts Greg and thank you as I'm a firefighter/paramedic for Dallas Fire Rescue. I know exactly how a fallen service member feels. We just lost a 29 year vet in a 6-alarm fire last week as the roof collapsed. The Houston Fired Dept lost 5 today in a hotel fire as the roof collapsed. Thank you for you efforts and I pray that your non-profit organization comes to fruition.

Great project. I love the premise behind the build. It's often easy to take things for granted as we get caught up in the motions of daily life. I appreciate things that catch my attention and help me take a moment to think about the people who serve and protect our country. From the guy next door to the policeman and firefighter down the street to the soldier over seas. There's a lot to be greatfull for.

This just reminded me of the military jet fly overs. Man that gives me chills!

Some questions have been raised about this car in another build thread I have. Hope this clears up any issues.

This car will be completed if it is the last thing I do on this earth. It is not being held up due to a lack of funds. It is being held up to some things out of my control. Part of it involves trusting the wrong people and part of it involves some people who have taken advantage of me. I am hoping to have some updates relatively soon.

I was hoping to have an update for you guys as I thought I had a break through with one of the builders I have been having problems with. They were actually paid in full almost 4 years ago. After I spoke with a mediator through the small claims court, this builder apologized for the way they have been treating me and agreed to get this taken care of in a two week time frame. They were supposed to update me every 2 days and provide pictures of the progress. They made a promise to work on this every day including the week ends. Well, it is two weeks later and guess what? Nothing!!!! I will serve them next week and head off to small claims court. Good thing I have 91 emails documenting everything.

Wow Greg that sucks!! You know if they we'er doing this pro bono I could see it talking longer to complete, but with you having paid them its just bad business and bad for our hobby.

I hope you get it back on track Greg!!
