I will keep you posted about Columbus Goodguys. Still have not decided but I am seriously considering it.

Hot Rod Interiors,
The reason you see my car still in the backgrounds is that it is still not finished. The car was not even functional when they claimed it was done for the taping of the show. Many of the cars still need things hooked up like gauges and etc. plus need bugs worked out after taping for the show. My car was even worse as it required so much fab work. My car is still currently at Boyds being finished!! I am now over 3 1/2 years of being worked on at Boyds!! I have had it for one week to take to Hot August Nights but it was still not done. The recent cars on the show have not had a lot of fabrication to enable them to finish the cars in the time supplied. The deadlines are only for TV.
Hope that answers your questions.

Sounds like you are a little upset they are taking so long. How long does it take to work out bugs?

Boyd and I have been friends for many years so I have no problem with him. TV makes him look like an idiot and Dwayne also but in the real world they are both nice people. As far as the time I expected it to take a few years to build so I am not to bothered by it. Actually what bothers me is the people who think it only takes a few months and that they think that the TV show is real and 100% true.

Twin, as someone who has known Boyd for many years, do you think he realizes how bad the show makes him (and the whole operation) look sometimes?

i have always been pro-boyd , he still has style . the only car he has done that looked like sh#t was the rat rod (and maybe the yellow and blue combo )
other than those he has always built very nice cars !

A truely beautiful Corvette. It has been one of the nicest cars to come out of boyds shop since "that show" started.

RWHITE692,
I think he relizes it and I know he has been told by many many people that the show makes them look bad but I think that other things and benefits push him to over look it and continue on.

Thanks to everyone else for the compliments on my car.

A little off topic, but I really liked Roy. He will be missed.
