Try it from my side
That sounds like a great winter toy. How long before you tear into it or is it too late already.
Take the ads down and while she probably should have killed me, she hasn't 'yet'. I did take her to Maui for 2 weeks last summer and she is planning another holiday for this summer. That helps her accept the continuation of the project. To date she has still not actually looked at the car other than when she passes it in the garage. I don't push it because everyone knows how good she has been with all of that.

I will need to get together with you guys when the tracks open and I'm on my weeks off. I'm looking forward to getting home and having my DD tuned and ready to 'play'.

I kind of deserve that.

Good thing you have all winter to get things ready. I'm guessing work has been good to you lately.

For those wondering, no the car isn't done and no, I'm not driving it
I haven't done much on it lately as I'm away working 2 out of 3 weeks. Some will remember that the shop owner has been in bad health. He now sits on the transplant list for a heart. If he gets the heart then he will be able to cover the almost $20,000. that he over billed me. Shoot me for being trusting after all I've been through.
I have possession of my car and all the parts that were actually bought when they were paid for.
I'm not sure when things will get straightened out, soon I hope but I'm not giving up. Working away has helped get my mind of the mess of this project. As well my wife has been getting some things she's wanted/needed so she is warming up to me starting the project again.
I've meant to update with some updated pics so when I'm home I will get those taken and posted. Sorry there isn't better news but be assured I'm too stupid/stubborn to quit. I will get this done yet. I am glad I have the DD to amuse myself.

Done I'm not sure why that was private perhaps the latest photobucket site update.

Did you finally get yours done?
Just a bit of justice over this project that I want to share. As those who have been around a long time JBP was the company that really screwed me over. I've had many question why I didn't exact some justice for my wife & I. Others offered to do it for me Without being preachy many here know I'm a Christian as I've never hid that, so I left justice up to someone far greater than myself.
I have always checked to see what was going on with JBP. He even tried to start selling his crap to the Genesis coupe guys. As far as I know that fell a part as many (some from this forum) warned them as did I when I discovered what JBP was up to. As I kept an eye on JBP I've learnt that his shop on Toro in T.O. had its partnership dissolved (Mev & his engine builder) and the shop sold. JBP's website hasn't changed in over 2 years and his wife divorced him. Mev has taken to trying to find friends on astronomy enthusiasts blogs. No business, no shop, no wife = Justice. Thank you Lord.
