Dude. Great pic!

Have you shrunk since then? You look tall in that pic.

Cool pic and nice story.

Are you sure you don't want to finish the 62. Seems like there's some history with model you may regret abandoning.

Greg how come you are not going to finish this build? Just to many others or just not feelin it any more? Cool picture and story, but that bike does look a little big for you

It would take a lot of typing to give a DETAILED reason -- but summing it up as just not feeling it -- is exactly it. As the build moved on -- I found myself asking "why am I building this" more and more.

Now that my little '32 drives great... I'm loving driving it. I'm loving driving the track car ('65 Mustang)... I haven't driven my Nomad for a year (loaned it to my sister and brother in law) and haven't missed it. I still have a '37 Ford that either needs to be "done" or I need to decide that it just needs to go away.

The '62 is like the bike -- it just felt HUGE to me -- and I like the "fit" of my cute little '32... My S63 feels the same way -- huge... but there is a REASON for it (4 buddies and golf bags). I feel more comfortable wheeling our R8 around...

There's really nothing complicated about the decision. I just wasn't falling in love with the car other than the rendering which is super kool... but super kool for someone else.

Theres a joke in there begging to get out.

Give those guys at Ironworks a real challenge. Chop, channel and section away till the car is roughly a 20% smaller scale version of itself.

Love the car Guys , Sorry to hear you are not happy with it but as you say the only one who's opinion that matters is the owner and if its not your thing it is better to get out before it gets too deep.

Unfortunately in the time you have had with this car you have made me want to tear my car apart and start all over!! (Although I would still keep my intro's on it) Wish I had the tools, time and cash to do it but until then it will roll as is with little upgrades here and there.

I Look foreword to the completion of this project and am sure the new owner will be more than happy with it.

.......I imagine robbing $125,000 from the build budget for your new putter didn't help.

You have to do whats right for you. I've changed directions on my build on a smaller scale many times so anyone building a car should be able to understand this. Enjoy the 32 and if it goes someone will get a sweet project to complete.
