Unfortunately no, but I also have another build going on for my charity and this topic came up on that thread. Although I am sure it is going to be awesome when it is done, the custom frame has been a huge thorn in my side. Here is my response to your question from my other build thread as well as the link to that thread;

https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=41587

It is still in jail at Dominator Street Rods. The body is pretty much complete and waiting to be mated to the custom frame. In the past 6 or 7 months Dominator has been very busy. Leonard even hired 3 more people to keep up, so my frame has been on the back burner. He says we should be back on it in the next few weeks, so hopefully I will have some updates. In the meantime I need to continue with growing my non-profit organization. One of the programs I am trying to develop is a build program to get some of the at-risk and underprivileged youth to learn to work along side off duty police officers and fire fighters building cars. Those cars will then be auctioned off to raise money for the charity. I am hoping this build will be the first step in that process.

Starting a non-profit organization with everything I would like to accomplish has been very draining on both my bank account and my time. I was hoping to have the memorial police car done by the time I would start the first build but since I am at the mercy of several other people I just have to keep pushing forward with other aspects of my charity.

The memorial car will not be sold. It belongs to the organization and will be used as a tool to develop the build program as well as pay respect to all the men and women of law enforcement who gave their lives in the line of duty.

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!

Thank you sir!

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.

Interesting build for sure.

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.
