Sorry bro I guess some things no matter how hard you try never work out. Now grab a cold one and relax for awhile

Default thanks

guys

its so hard to figure out why this is happening.
i really was ready to finish the car but this killed it for me ...
it was a cool idea..now thats what it will be .
i have to do something ....i have my 65 rambler 4dr i could hang these parts on...havent been able to get real excited about that.but different.
i have a 71 chevelle rolling frame i bought to blast and paint and resell.
i could buy a new 9 inch housing/axles and throw my ls1/4l60 in and bolt my wilwoods brakes on that...wait for a decent body to come along...hell,i dont know .just sucks ....trying to change focus after all this time and effort
ive been searching local craigslist trying to find a deal on something that i might want to do.
im gonna sell off my rambler specific parts and make a little back to throw at the next project......i just have to do something.

tom

I felt exactly the way you do a couple times in the past. It sucks when you have to rework the same thing over and over.

When you start your next project I hope you don't take it to the same guys shop that left this one out to rust.

Default Sorry to hear

Tom sorry to hear about your project. I was really interested in it, but you can't let it drive you crazy. Like you said there will be another project that won't stress you out like this one . Find one you can enjoy doing. I wish you the best of luck finding one .
Wayne
