Uh oh... You do realize that after you buy a house, your time and money that you think you don't have know become a reality that you don't have them, right???

That's why my build is taking 2 years+ bought my house 2 years ago this month.... Mine is a true "budget baja".

btw...even though I'm not in the construction field (wish I was...the remodeling would go alot quicker) I've watched prices at Home Depot rise and rise. (Ex. Used to get a sheet of drywall for ~$6. ~$10/sheet now.)

*edit* now that I think of it, my wife probably would call it an "ANTI-budget baja".

In sept. i will be 2 years in with this project. It's sad to say but I see another 2 years before i give up. Building a car is like a peice of art work you never finish it. there is always somthing you want to change. it gets to a point where you just give up. or start a new car.

Yup...I'm to the point to where I just want to slap it together and drive it, but I'm taking my time and doing it right. Right for my budget at least...

You look like you've had a more productive 2 yrs in your build than I have.

man your car is so clean and tight. that front bumper doesnt really fit it seems its not as tight you know what i mean. like the loop is too big or something i dont know

That is sweet! I think you might need a few more lights though, I can still see some of the body

Your doing a great job of it that is for sure.

I picked my plasma cuter up last night very cool.

Heh. First time I set up a plasma, I accedentally grabbed the ground from the tig instead of the plasma. It would only cut for a few seconds, then stop. I though it sucked, but I kept at it long enough to catch the firewall on fire, and then put it out with the hose.

You can guess what happened when I got back to cutting- BBQ Spaz.

good stuff.
