I was wondering the same thing. I enjoyed following the mods.
I hope that the trash talking didn't push him away from the forum.

The last time he posted on the thread was on the 29th. I subscribed because I thought his build was interesting and wanted to see the finished product. A LOT of trash talking about what he is doing so maybe he did just give up posting but I hope not. People love to criticize and that's part of the forum but people were going overboard on this guy. He has skills and was just sharing his thoughts. Let the guy finish, it might be something you like. Tough to tell right now with everything disassembled and half modified.

On his last post he was working on some other shop builds to generate some money for his build. He just finished doing a mod on my L5 rear fenders. I haven't met with him, just worked with him over the phone and text. He was very professional in his dealings and kept me updated dailey on the progress of his work. He pumped these fenders out a lot quicker than I expected even with making the custom parts from scratch. He definatley worked many late evenings on my pieces. I would highly recommend him if you wanted any custom work done.

He said his shop was stacked with customers work so the Vette was on the back burner, but he did say once he was caught up he would have mad cash to burn to get it all done quick.

I personally love the work he's doing, but I hack up my own stuff, too.
