    Haha, I will never understand how some people are able to devote so much time and money into a car and then turn around and sell it once they're finished. I put time and money into a car because I want to enjoy what I'm going to be driving. Others put time and money in because they enjoy spending time and money. Haha, I guess different strokes for different folks. Car looks great though , it's ashame you're getting rid of it.

    yeah, it just that when i bought this this car i had a personal goal and once i had reached it i was going to sell the car. and i have now accomplished that goal. you should see what i mean early next year. on this car i really only spent about 3 months getting her ready. i let her sit in the garage for about 6 months before i actually did anything worthwhile. unlike my other show car i dont feel too attached to her. she is beautiful though.

    I did once and they touched it up, got overspray on the rest of the car, and I ended up just sanding it myself and taking it to a body shop that a lot of guys reccomended to me. They removed all teh body filler on teh car and fixed/reformed every body panel by hand (this was on a 1964 Ford), They even created a new rear quarter panel (which has a pretty intricate design) all by hand, looks like brand new. The paint job on the car looks better than any brand new car i've ever seen on a lot.

    that car is my show car, and has a lot of sentimental value (been in the family since new), so it was worth the $$$ to do it right.

    I know it is funny, and crazy too, that I gave you such good deals on labor, and went above and beyond to do careful work on the car. But in all honestly, its ok, and I don't expect anything else from the deal.

    **** that, get a Z06. Make a TT, make sure its a CF on Ferrari red, at atleast 800rwhp, and a DD. Theres a project, and a challenge. Then give it to me when you're finished, and then we can call it even from all the emotional support I provide for you while you build my...I mean your car.
