Destin, Hang in there bro, I went through the same torture with my 45 about 8 years ago,the tub was done and the dolly it was on broke as they were rolling it across the shop,needless to say the mint factory rust free rockers looked like they went thru rubicon! And this was after waiting a year and the cost had trippled......But in the end when all the blood ,sweat and tears were gone, you take a step back ,and look at what a fine job you have done,and all the stress and hard work is totally worth it. I cant wait to see this thing finished!!

They collected all the Bugattis they could get, ruined themselves ....

This museum is a must if some of you guys visit Europe

Cars collection - Cité de l'Automobile - Car Museum, Alsace France
.... * better to divide it:
Bonds, cash, commodities, shares etc.

Let the re-assembly party begin
As frustrating as the whole ordeal has been I'm sure you will agree it's worth the wait!
I'm jealous, and I want another!
Enjoy!
I'm sure I'm not the only voyer out there
