Funny you say that Doug, a buddy pointed that out to me. If you give yourself 3 weeks to do something it’ll take every bit of that three weeks. Maybe those unrealistic deadlines save you time in the long run.

I agree with you Doug. When I said timelines I'm implying reasonable timelines. But you wise@$$e$ know what I meant.

Hey, I resemble that remark....... But yeah, I agree too, that's kind of why I like to make deadlines, but maybe I was a wee bit unrealistic with this one.....

Eric, im going to bring this back from the dead. Just finally got through all of it (after remembering you did this) and your work is truly awesome. And for you to take the time to document it like you do is another talent. Thanks for sharing to the world your awesome builds.

This is an amazing build. So many great ideas in here and I appreciate you taking the time to document and share. I have a 63 impala backburner project and will be referencing this heavily.
