Hey Mark,
You know with what your doing you want that kind of anal man. This dude is doing like brain, heart, spinal cord, and etc. surgery on one patient plus having surgeons working in shifts. I know it is hard to wait you know I feel for you because Dragon and I are always taking my 2005 SUV into shop and upgrading latest sponsors equip. This year is last year to be without it being at my beckon call. We are spending this whole year to strip it down to perfect anything that a judge won't see put just in case were covering all bases. It is being gutted so it can be media blasted to reveal the most over looked imperfection on rig. We are preparing to take it to 2011 SEMA spring shop competition. They only choose 20 GM products. So only 20 shops get picked to bring any year model any style GM vehicle. I will be without my rig a long time so I feel your frustration but, Dragon is extremely anal about anyones ride just he ramps it up when he wants my rig in. I put 12,000 miles on rig in first 6 months and only another 4,000 miles in last 4 years. I'm most likely going to buy a H2 SUT for daily use and use my baby for nice weather weekends and short trips. With 16,000 miles and all the special aftermarket equip. we have I doubt I'll never let the "DadyLuv" Baby ever go.

Soooo I'm extremely happy to hear your guy is that kind of anal. It cuts short the chance of problems. I'm happy for you Buddy for going for your dream rig build. I hope for the perfect of conversion for you. This kind takes time.

Rick,

I appreciate the thoughts. I'm glad he's being anal, I told him in the beginning I didn't care how long it took. I don't have the time or patience to screw around with stupid **** later.

It's one thing to have a problem (which I expect at some point) because this is a conversion but another when someone jerry rigs something and I have to fix their fukc up because they mickeymoused it.

As far as how long it's taking, it doesn't matter, I'm still working on my S10 with the blown big block and my Harley (which has been almost 2 years now), never mind my el camino.... I never used to be one to start a project without finishing another first but for some reason it seems I've always got some project going on.

Point is, I'm used to having something torn apart...lol.

Anyway, it's all coming to a head, it seems almost everything will be finished at roughly the same time.

You know the saying... "there's never enough time to do it right but there's always enough time to do it again"

Not for me, I'm a one time kind of guy (in theory...lol)

Good things are worth waiting for, Mark. My wife told me that 40 years ago when we started dating. I'm still waiting.................just kidding honey. You're gonna love it when you get it back.
I've noticed since Hummers aren't being made, I've gotten two business cards under my wiper wanting to buy my SUT this year. Maybe all the snow and our horrible winter weather had something to do with that.There's an awful lot of these out there to be collectibles and I'm having way too much fun driving it to park it.
