Builds Nemesis - a deviant undertaking

[60Works]

Glad to see you back, Shane, and looking forward to more updates. We hope life starts sending you good karma to balance your last couple of years.

Shane, sending good thoughts your way brother. You'll be back behind the wheel before you know it.

Absolutely correct! To be honest, if it was just a regular 60, shed be gone already as there are numerous other priorities. But. . .it's the last thing my dad and I worked on together. Since mother nature decided to take everything else, including his ashes, I decided to give her the middle finger and press on, literally, lol.

Appreciate the support.

Shane

Man, I see people give up every day at work. . .aside from not being in my genetics, I can't wrap my head around succumbing to pressure. My debt to Karma is deep but a debt I wake up every day happy to pay her back. And. . .how's that saying go. . .what doesn't kill you makes you stronger? Hercules, hercules, hercules =)

Now. . .insofar as Stan's mental state in the near future, I claim full, I mean, no responsibility.

Good to hear from you. . .

Keep rocking it Shane. I don't see "failure" or "giving up" in your vocabulary.

If only there was a reset button. . .

Still lurking on a partial AWOL status. 60 still parked under the lean-to - although I do disturb her rest with the once a week drives. Parts still coming to the house, albeit at a trickle of their glory days. Scored a 50K +/- 5.7 donor from a friend of mine - still sitting as I continue to wrestle with life and debate the Mosley Motors 2F/EFI rebuild vs. transplanting the 5.7 beast. Finally getting the body pulled over the next two weeks. Body's going to a friends shop for paint, I'm doing the frame & axles with a few friends. Had an incredible offer on her and almost pulled the trigger on a 2016 200. Seems I always come back to the 60.

Update for those of u following this thread & the upcoming build: U guys know that I'm a non-conformist and as evidenced by previous posts, chaos and crazy ideas rule any project that has my signature on it. With that being said, this is going to be a long, extremely detailed, one-off fabrications & a mad designer's porn build. Stan has no specific parameters, no limitations...only ideas for him to interpret and put his personalized, gifted touch to bring this dream to reality.

is this stuff still going to happen?

Interesting that you elected to use a full replacement HVAC system. Looking forward to how you mount it all.

Ordered two mock-up units from them - the Haymaker and Vapir3 - and will update once we get to that section of the build. I'm looking forward to the finished product, not necessarily the getting it done part, lol.
