Don't work yourself into a trap! Find some time to strategize or a delegate it to a trusted source. This stuff can snowball until you start constantly waking up in the middle of the night wondering what the heck happened to my happy place. Control it while you can!

You've got a great product that's marketed and produced in hands-on fashion that many of us gearhead's really appreciate, respect, and want to support. I wish you the best of success and peace of mind at night.

Wow!!! How could possibly know that I wake up in the middle of the night.Once I wake up I start thinking about this car stuff and find it hard too fall back asleep.I would love to take a step back for a while.And recharge the batteries.I have been finding a little get away in the shooting hobby.But now that might even get limited.Thank's so much for the kind word's and great advice.This is why I love too hang out here so much.

Nice fabrication. Look forward to seeing what the control arm, upright, and bushings designs are.

Waking up thinking about fabrication tactics, geometry, stance, and styling cues on a project is good. Waking up in a sweat thinking about insurance, payroll, lines of credit, legal issues, accounts payable, facilities and equipment overhead, human resources liabilities, etc. isn't quite as enjoyable. There are people that actually enjoy dealing with those "un-pleasantries" and they will allow you focus your energy on what you enjoy and do best.

The new design looks great. I am looking forward to my version 1 setup that will be coming in early February. I will second the comment that Scott is easy to work with. Maybe this one will be perfected in time for me to finish this Firebird and find another one down the road.

In hindsight, it would seem that this was excellent advice. If anyone is considering one of these frames can I strongly suggest checking out the feedback forum before sending any money.
