Well, my car has been home for about 1.5 months and I am struggling to find the time between wife, kids and work. Jim Pettigrew finished my twin master set-up that uses the stock pedals. All of my accesories have been bolted on for the final time and so is the front susupension. Here are a few pics.

but you actually get to work on yours. I am guessing you will be driving in 3 weeks. I will be happy if mine is done in 3 months

I know the feeling bud, I really do... I started Bad Ast two years ago and am no farther along now then I was then... At least real stuff. I have redesigned it three times since then on the computer but this is getting old... What I did get done has been cut up and relegated to the scrap pile...

Hell, I try not to even look at mine, no money, no time, at least yours is assembled,

I am motivated, just no time. I need to order a few more parts and then I am going to take a week off of work and knock out 10 hour days on this thing and see it I can not move this project along.

I was pushing hard to make the Power Tour...in 2005. That is how long this thing has been delayed.

My goal was april of 04 and now its at the 3rd body shop since and the cost has more than tripled from the original budget. Keep plugging away and try to enjoy it when you have the time. This is suppose to be FUN right?

i think i am having fun - however my wife just told me that the 1 day a week that i work on the truck is to much.

Huh - wonder when i am going to work on it agian.
