You don't realize how much is left on this car. It looks great sitting but there is no internal wiring, no door glass, or door guts installed, etc, etc. You skip lots of little things to get it to SEMA, that intails tons of hours when you get back home. Cause you got to tear the car down and start over. Its a lot more that I thought !!

I realize it - I've built a few cars... and am doing a full body off.. frame change... LS2 motor - 6 speed - p/w - door locks - trick stereo - inner fender wells - A/C - trick dash car right now - for FREE for a friend.

It's why it takes about 2 YEARS to build a car like this... and the worst part of it is - I keep going to the shed expecting something to be done, and items crossed off the to do list... but I've made a gruesome discovery... they just don't seem to build themselves while I'm out messing with other stuff. Can't tell you what a let down that was...

I know the feeling!! We're trying to get it done. December has just been a bad month. Josh got Married so I haven't had him in the shop all month, Jerry's real job has kept him out of the hsop for 6 weeks. And my day job is always nuts at years end. And my wife goes in for surgery tomorrow, so I'll be on kid duty for at least a week while she recovers

Cool, new tools. Sounds good Chad. Please post up some pics of the new toys and the car. Is the car getting power windows? I would love to see how those go together in a second gen. Can you post up pics when you get to them too?

Just checking in for any updates. How is the wiring coming along?

I've been out of commision the last couple of weeks. Doing daddy duty while the wife recovered from her surgery.

I can relate. I just had mine yesterday. I hope she has a speedy recovery.

Should be back to work on it next week full time again. We are delivering a clients car to Atlanta next weekend, so we have to finish buffing and assemble this weekend
