1.3 gazillion. Honestly, I have no idea. I worked on it for 2-1/2 years, but nearly built two other cars at the same time in addition to a bunch of smaller jobs. Plus, it was away at paint for like 5 months.

Everytime I go and look at my car and it's still rough, I look at this thread and realize it will be done soon enough.

Wow, what an absolutely incredible build! This is the first I've seen of it, and I think I've been deprived by having only just now found out about this thread. I saw it yesterday, but didn't really have the time to dedicate to 27 pages, and over 650 posts, but all I can say is wow. Reen, you are quite an incredible fabricator and car builder to say the least.

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. The post number is #422 I think, that at least gets you within a couple posts if it's not the right one. Thanks again.

Reen, congrats on the cover and article spread

I think they did a great job representing the approach you have taken to building this car and the pictures were great. This should help drive some brand awareness and garner some much deserved attention. It's great to see guys succeed at things they are passionate about, congrats!

Here it is! There's a great 2-page pic on the table of contents and a 6-page feature. It came out great and I'm psyched on how they put it together.

Thanks! Hopefully it's the first of many. If you saw the real "behind the scenes" it probably wouldn't be nearly as inspirational -- more like "even a blind dog finds a bone once in a while" but thanks regardless!
