    That is why I have learned to do it yourself. The one thing on my build I could not do is paint and the car has been in "Paint Jail" for sometime now and has missed it's delivery date numerous times.

    I actually thought Topoliner was doing the work himself. If he outsourced all the work on this car he did a great job keeping everyone working. I would love to see the total amount spent on putting this car together. He does have a nice mopar that is built.

    Yeah outsourcing work is expensive, thus why mine hasn't gotten started.
    I wont speak for Topoliner but he did do alot of work himself, before sending it off to the Pangaea prison of frustrating outsourcing.

    If I waited to learn everything I needed to know, would take me 30 years at best to build mine :D That is if I managed to not chop of fingers and or arms/legs in the process.

    I can paint the car .. but I'd do it in my f250 .. in this maverick specifically I prefer the best paint,the best painter, the best paint shop, etc. .. and do the best job possible ..
    and electric .. I do not understand sh*t! lol

    in theory, my car is in the best workshop Mavericks from Brazil, so I have to endure the delay and be quiet here at home .. but for me it's horrible because I spent almost two years working every day in this car.
    I can not see the time to have my car back, so I keep building.:huh:

    I do not go crazy for doing nothing in the car, I decided to reform the engine bay of my challenger .. let cleaner ... what was missing was for him to be perfect (for me, of course)
    today i will call him..maybe I have some good News..maybe

    I will keep you informed :thumbs2::thumbs2:

    cheers!!!!!!
