The rebirth....has begun

[inspector01]

I have been wondering when something was gonna happen with that forever.

[FG2]

Before this turns into a bash fest, yes we allllll know it has taken forever to rebuild. Years. Yep we know. But when the paint failed on the last attempt, it put a very sour taste in all of our mouths. So let me make the jokes obvious so we can move the attention onto a car that will make headlines.

"That thing hasn't ran in like 5 years" = true
"Didn't the first paint job fail?" = true
"It's about time" = we know
"what does it matter, the owner of the car spends most of his time working on other peoples cars" = true

This will be something everyone can enjoy seeing and it will be cool to put another car like Tony's on the major show scene. I will update this thread as progress ensues. It will not be a quick rebuild, as there are random pieces that will need to be ordered/replaced/custom fit. The decision was made that this thing needs to be on the roads this summer, so we are working for that. As a slow day comes, we all plan to pitch in and help.

It's an exciting day for all of us that have given Shane crap forever.

Which car is this? (for those of us not in the know)

Hey we took that apart after my Integra in 2001! It's been 7 years, not 5.

no no no, I just knew it would start (and is well deserved), but we have been hearing about it/saying it for so long, that I didn't want a thread to get out of hand/off topic.
