no kiddin bro, but its giving me time to sort out the small things :D

 wires :mad:  clean things up a bit get everything up to the specs.... all my friends keep asking me why i go through all of this ...  well, i like to show off every now and then :D

i decided to keep some fo the origional color in the bay for some contrast, the firewall and fenderlip and the top of the core support are all the origional color...  soon as i get rid of all the brown spots (from the primer) im gonna laquer that  thing...... im gonna put so many coats of clear on it that if i ever get it dirty under there the dirt will slide right off :D

im hoping to have it up and running again soon (no deadline now.... setting goals now is kinda retarded)

:D
