I have the steaming turd up for sale. When people ask why I'm selling, it's so I'll quit spending money on it!
I'm hoping now the economy is on its way up, and people will be having extra money to be spending on the build of custom cars. Personally my mentor is getting older and I can't imagine he will be able to fund these projects for any longer than another 5 years.. It's really a sad thing, and I think that is a reason along with the economy is the older generation is retiring I hate to say, and the younger generation has either no interest or hopefully has just yet to catch on. I hope in the coming years the hot rod and custom scene explode once again.
