It's behind schedule

What does that last word mean?

Looking great ZeGerman...I'll bet you can't wait to get it home. I'm with you on the sound system - good sounding tunes but tastefully hidden away is a trick with these cars.

BTW - Thanks for the update. I just about bumped this thread the other day wondering how you were doing.

Ha! Yeah, my buddy commented that paint and bodywork takes 3 times longer than you think it will, no matter how conservatively you estimate it will take. Seems true for me so far.

Otherwise, things with me and the project are good. I suppose a silver lining to the extended time it has taken to paint the body is that it allowed me to spread out the final purchases and keep my bank account from undergoing thermonuclear meltdown. Now that I've purchased virtually everything I'll need to finish the project and the money for paint is allocated, I can start healing my bank account and not worry about future purchases because there basically won't be any. None of significance, anyway. Feels good to have gotten over that hurdle, even if the car hasn't been reassembled yet. Now I can just relax and get fired up for bolting on all the nice new parts.

That's the lie we all tell ourselves.
