Impressive!! I wish I had the patience to do that kind of wiring job! Maybe someday with a more expensive build.

Looking Good!!

That's the idea. But having time, money, space and ambition all at the same time is an issue. Someday I may completely rebuild mine. Or start again.

Any more Progress?
I can't wait to see the completed rig! Or your next one for that matter. . .

I dont know what you mean .. (other then the money thing , I hate that part , never enough) .. I absolutly love to go in on saturdays and sundays after working all week on other peoples stuff , and be able to work all day on my own junk .. this is my "lifestyle" .. it's my hobbie .

lots of other people do "other" things .. but , this is what I do ! and I do it for a living .. I love it !

I absolutly cant wait to get my 2WD in the shop .

but alas , no updates .
my shop has been so busy , and with my boy starting ball .. I just cant seem to find the time I want

I hear you about a hobby, mine was only going to be an engine swap and nothing else. Like you I have spent many hours and way more money than I would have dreamed of spending on it, but I am having a ton of fun as well. I guess it is money well spent, when you consider other things I could have spent money on. I guess at the end of the day, it all comes down to creating something of an art form for yourself, and if others like it, then that is an added bonus. You have given me a lot of ideas, and I love reading this thread because it is about admiring great work to me. Keep it up mate.

I don't get that one at all. If you want to see other vehicles, click on the name and you will find them, I didn't put pictures of my vehicle here because it is not my thread. Have fun anyway.

Feel free to put characters you're wanting to play or characters you are currently playing. It would be neat to see what sort of gear, feat, and power choices people make for difference classes, to see how characters organically grown through play instead of CharOptimized-ideals (plus fluff, tactics, story stuff maybe too).

Was that spammer sniffing the pigs butt or what?
What he said made zero sense.
Maybe he is one of those new ager cultists
