I would say thanks but JBP deserves the credit.

Doc, my wife agrees with you and if I could figure out how to do so and collect I probably would.

Thanks.
Part of my trip will to firm up commitments from the other shops as well as outlining deadlines and prices in actual contract so no more "mishaps" take place. That alone will minimize future discouragement.

A little late, but with most major projects I've been involved with have included a clause for getting work done on a schedule, a bonus for work completed before deadline and a deduction for delays or failures to meet scheduled deadlines. I know it didn't start out as a huge project it kind of blossomed into one. So, with that being said, I don't know how much the plan would have helped you out.

You are right about all of that and considering the shops still want more $$$ from me, contracts are going to be the way it works from here on out.
I had offered bonus incentives at one point, but one shop turned it down, screwing it up for the others. Now the incentive is to be paid. If at the end of it all, they are on time and haven't burned up all my $$$, perhaps I will have some tax free cash in my wallet when I finally go get the car.

I will have an update Tuesday of next week, as that is when I get to Toronto.
That means there likely won't be an update tomorrow.
I was told though, I should have a completely built engine when I get there.

Well when your all done I sure hope your car gets voted as COBALT OF the MONTH. that would be a shame to go to all this work and not get the accolades.

It will definitely get COTM. Whoever doesn't vote for him is a jackass. I feel sorry for the other cars running the same month as him.

Looking great, don't let the waits get you down, it'll all be worth it at the end.

No one has been murdered....yet.......meeting are going on over the next couple of days. Not as much to upgrade on right now but I hope to have good news before I leave Toronto, which has been pushed back to Saturday to allow for further meetings.

Well that is an interesting question because it was once stickied and then someone chose to unsticky it. I never asked who and I never bothered to ask again but I do agree it is worthy of being stickyed.

Yes the car will make it to Alberta to race. Hopefully I get to race my brother's big block Mopar, in Edmonchuk.
