    That was still an awesome thrash, and I can't wait to see the finished product.

    Its allright Chad. Let the painter sort out his tough times. You wouldn't want to rush things and screw something up or settle for less cause you'd always look at it and think "if I only had not rushed this I'd be 100% happy".
    It'll be worth the wait and we'll all still be here cheering you on!

    You definitely did the right thing. In the end, you'll be happier anyways. More kudos to you for being able to admit you want a better finished product. Good things come with time.
     
  6. Sorry to hear, man. Still looking forward to meeting you though. Honestly, I was surprised to see you having paint attempted before the roundup. I told you you should have worked on the windows! (jk)

    i feel ya...for the past 6 or 7 months i gave myself a deadline from start to finish to get my 33 done in time for a show called BEATERSVILLE up in louisville KY,i have been busting ass, all winter long and it's gettting there,that show is just a lil under two months away,its looking great,but god damn, im outta money to buy all the lil shit to put it on the road.i'm on a strict budget,and the next pay check i can even spend a lil of it on to buy that lil shit is 5 weeks away!,which would be fine,( i guess) but then ,even then, that is down to the wire as long as nothing else goes wrong!

    Bummer. Oh well, atleast you won't be rushing it anymore. Just take a part of the car with you to the Round Up, so you can say something made it there and back. I'll continue to watch the progress.

  15. Sorry to hear about your troubles man, that bites.
    I may be pulling out as well, got my seat back ( a week late) and it's not even close to what I said I wanted, it looks like he waited till the last minute to do it, what a mess, he added so much foam to the seat bottom my head hits the roof. I will have to remake the seat frame just to lower it enough to drive it.:mad:

    Man sorry you didn't get it done.. I really feel your pain..

    I spent 2 months getting Live Wire ready for the Round Up and found out I had a
    stuck Valve the day before I was going to leave for the show.. Had the truck and Trailer
    ready to go..

    I've missed many deadlines and shows while building LW.. and you just gotta suck it up
    and just keep at it.. its only a car show.. your car being built right once is more important.. you'll forget all this when your hauling ass.

    See you there..

    Grits... throw a bucket in there a drive it holmes!!

    Sinister.... Thanks man.... actually... Whatever!! :D I like it black, the firewall will be white and I want it to have contrast!!!

    Evel... I remember bubba, I watched your thread closely. I'm really not worried at all. When I get back from LSR it's freakin "Game On!" Back to it, should be picking up the frame when I get back too, it's supposed to be finished by then!

    Thanks Fellas!!!

    Hey man... I think it's been said pretty well already. Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes building to a stringent deadline will only make you forget or overlook stuff. And I don't know about you, but I know I work way better when I'm not under pressure for a deadline. I've missed EVERY deadline I set for myself (which BLOWS), but I've learned more by missing the deadlines and doing it the way I wanted and enjoyed the build a lot more.

    Take your time! Get it done when it's ready to be done! And quit buyin' projects... HAHA! ;):p:D

    One thing is for sure, it's lookin' GREAT and I was hopin' to see you make it happen for LSR... Have fun at the show, man!

    Thanks Scooter!!

    If I hadn't set the deadline it would still be in the state it was in last december... setting the goal of LSR was the best thing I could have done for myself... it has really lit the fire back in me to get it done.

    thanks for the encouraging words bro!!

    You gonna be at LSR? Or are you working on the wedding thing?

    Wedding is done did! :D Hitched! :D I won't be at LSR for a variety of reasons. One major one being the car. At this point I've given up on deadlines, but I really do need to have it on the road ASAP. So every minute and every extra dollar counts right now. Working every night after work, just about, and sometimes before work. Crazy... Still having fun though! :cool:

    We really are trying for LSR next year, though. With or without the car.
