That brings back memories and sometimes nightmares. Solo wanted to buy the car and end up backing out after requesting a shit ton of work be done to it first. Then Windowlicker fell in love with it bought it drove it home realize that it smoked a little bit and we ended up doing an entire complete l20b engine rebuild and carburetor rebuild. However now it's a pretty badass Datsun. The yard look much better with 2 doors 3 years ago.

Your builds make me want to tear my Z apart to do the body over, knowing just how long that shit takes keeps me from doing it. I'm amazed how you find time for all these cars around another profession. You must work pretty fast!

[the510keeper]

It's not always fast. I'm working on a 68 4 door for a guy n LA and it's been here going on 3 years. Lost friends because it takes me years to paint some of these cars.

Most of my work is never seen. Once people get their cars back it is sometimes unlikely to b finished. 4 of the last 6 cars I painted have been that way.

I totally understand what James is saying. I just finished extensive repairs on a car, I've had it for about 8 months. But right up front I told the guy (really good friend of mine) that I was going to be doing the work in my "spare time". He knows that I have three kids and run my own business, and he was suitably patient through the whole process. He was willing to wait because he was confident in my ability and because I was saving him thousands of dollars. Because he was patient, I really enjoyed the project instead of growing to hate it near the end.

 

Rare to find an owner who really understands what it takes to get something done. This ain't Overhaulin'

[S30Jay]

That is more along the lines of what I've experienced. Whenever I'd see a car getting broken down to a shell for a resto I'd think to myself "that's never getting finished", most times they didn't. And if they did it took years like you said.

 

I've never seen high quality bodywork happen quickly, it takes forever. 95% is in the prep.

 

Well anyway my hats off to you man. You've completed quite a few that I've seen and they turn out beautiful!
