Must be something to do with rules and regulations to stop you entering the car professionally. What a bummer.

But you've done alot of work already...

You should finish it anyway man. You're this close to having one of the most unique and bad-*** cars in the world. Don't let anyone stop you

With over 5 years, nearing 6 invested, it sounds like something pretty bad has happened. Sorry to hear.

No, that is not it. The "building" shop has disided not to have his shop any more. So I am done... Have been doing this too long... and I have no more "spirit" left for this project.

You deserve kudos for putting aside the play car for your kid. I am sure you could find another shop to take your dollars.

Unhappy You quitting

I'm really sorry the garage people have let you down so near the end of a Sensational Project car , you should do what this "Smilie man" is doing to him .... it's so sad you won't get to finish something you have put so much Marvelous work into - -- but, you will now have More Time to spend with your child, and Time is the most important thing you give give to a child .... I hope to see the finished project sometime, somewhere in a magazine or sumthin'

Just thought about this build after so many years. I am curious what ever happened to it. Any updates.? Do people even still use forums these days.? So much great info and so much to learn. Cheers!
