Ironworks is building a 1962 Bel-Air with a Blown LSX-376 and Ironworks Chassis

[GregWeld]

It's funny how people keep pinging me about "WHY" I put this project on hold... everyone is looking for some ulterior reason... you know - like Rodger is screwing me - or the work isn't what I wanted or some other BS!

I'll say this one more time -- so everyone gets it. Rodger and I talk daily - as friends FIRST and FOREMOST. The project has always been just "something to do" for me... and was never really the dream car of my lifetime. Kool? Hell yes! But these builds are time consuming - lots of decisions to make - details, details, details. So with that -- you go to bed thinking about it - the what ifs - the maybes - the color combo... all that.

Now -- I'm also working on this trailer/toter order... and traveling -- and have track car and show car dates etc.... and I just didn't want to be distracted... and have to "think" about the '62 for a couple months. That's as simple as it gets folks...

In the meantime -- a guy stops by Rodgers shop and asks about the build and may be interested in taking it over. To which I said "I'm okay with that" at the right price. If not - We'll finish the car and cruise the crap out of it etc.

So to everyone with their panties in a wad. Get over it - there's no wreck to look at... no dead bodies...

And with that -- I'm off to Monte Carlo to watch a Grand Prix. Yeah - it sucks to be me.

Thats BS how is Rodger going to get his Discovery Channel show if there isn't any drama. There has to be a bit of drama.

OH believe me we have plenty of drama. If it's not one thing it's another. Customer drama we don't have to much anymore. I have gotten pretty good at spotting the snakes in the grass in this business. But there is always something going on somewhere.

Bastard!

Since Greg has no need for the frame howsabout you leave it here in Iowa on your way back from Columbus? It would save you all kinds of fuel if you didn't have to tote it over the Rockies again.
