- Wed Oct 22, 2014 8:26 pm #349344 sometimes you just gotta walk away and every once in a while glance at it till it bugs you to the point you work on it..im at that point...it runs/drives flawlessly, but I have no side molding, no side skirts, no window trim, a fubar rear bumper and rattlecan black doors, the rest of the body besides the rear plate garnish and passenger mirror (which are still Aztec green pearl) are primer haha...and its been that way about 3 months..but as this is a dd its not bugging me too much...I would like to finish it eventually but I guess what im saying is take a break, it will still be there when you get back....just make sure to store that motor properly :P

I have been a three year wait as well. Mine just went to paint.
It sat for a whole year. I figure it should be on the road by December.
Fingers crossed.
