Let's hope you work on your fabrication skills between now and then.

My fabrication skills are just fine thank you. And what have you seen that i have fabricated?

Edit: If you say my workbench, that thing is still up and working great with a ton of crap still on it.

As cool as a K-1 is, nobody wants to see/ride in/drive one that looks like your workbench.

Re: Build it or buy it, the debate

I build/fabricate everything I do, but time is normally the issue for me personally.

I have no problem with people who just pay to have a car built(or work performed in general). It comes down to time a lot of the times for those who pay to play.

It would take a lot for me to have someone else build me a car(trust wise), but those people are out there, and if money isn't a concern, I'll happily pay and drive(however, I'm sure I'd also have a project or two that I'm working on myself at the same time).

Case in point, I just don't want to deal with or have time for building my next tranny(even though I'm fully capable of/and have done so). I'll either find one that I'd want that is built(or basic tranny that shifts well), or end up sending one of the extra trannies out to Shep at some point.

Got any pics of it with the "ton of crap" on it . I was about to find that post when I saw your original post.
