[I_Farted]

[I_Farted]

There is so much **** behind the dash. I hate it. I took mine out yesterday and quit halfway though taking all the stuff out. Sick... no energy to work. ughhh

yea theres a lot of stuff back there, but just keep tearing it down...

[tramp_drift240]

comes together, are you gay?

"everything falls together" is a very common phrase for things...working out properly. because the pieces in the "puzzle" or whatever seem to ...fall. together. into place.

nvm.

What canyons?

Anyone who thinks "budget build" and "no shortcuts" doesn't go together obviously didn't read the KA-T build for Porject Vert.

It's a joke...

Every project car has a budget..It may not be set, but it is still present...

I just turned 18 today, make a little over $1500+ a month and have minimal bills to pay... i also fund part of my motorcycle racing career, and still need to pay money for day to day tasks...

I think a lot of you guys are gettting misled by the term "no shortcuts"...

By stating "no shortcuts" i refer to (The fixing of any problems that i will be encounter while working on my project)....For example, when gutting the 13, i found that the floor pan was busted up where it connects to the firewalll...Sooooo i mark that down on my list of things that need repair while still continuing to upgrade the car itself...I'm not going to just make a quick fix by resealing the floor pan!!!I'm going to fix the problem to the best of my abilities...

I know what you mean by not taking shortcuts. First 240 I got I just half assed everything. And now I'm paying for it by seeing it everything everyday. Good luck with the build and don't lose hope! I'll be watching!

Here here on that...Greg...it's called intelligent planning and research.

And if you want to see a fantastic example of not taking short cuts, look no further than right here in NICO as your fellow enthusiast strive to keep their rides on top of it!

many people are often think that doing a good job means spending a lot of money which is not true at all.

Looks good kiyoji, I'll have to check this out sometime(deja vu?...seems like I said that before lol)

Very true.

I think the ratio of flaming:actual on topic replys is 3:1 haha.

ugh

Anyway, looks good, I mean your chassis is in horrible shape from how you speak, but hey anything can be fixed so do it right!

BTW kaleo, you've inspired me to go 2-tone on Project Vert.

I'm thinking I might do a photoshop contest on it to pick the best paint scheme....

[Kaleo55]

Great Idea Greg, I think you should give us a nice profile shot of your vert so we can have at it...

[s13_chris]

Anything new? How goes the process. Keep us updated!

[nifares240]

you remove the bar that goes across the inside the dash.

[I_Farted]

Yup but its back on now...gunna paint that bestro pretty soon

[!Zar!]

I'm really wondering how this is going to turn out.

"No shortcuts" is quite a big claim.

Do me proud son.
