Nice score, I love inventorying junkyards and thinking of the possibilities.

What an interesting, informative, meandering, but still civil thread. Thanks everyone. I would suspect quality decline in all cars after 2007 because of the economic meltdown. It would be interesting to see real data on complaints and problems in this century. I would guess/bet they mirror the economy. I'm happy with my pre recession Dodge Ram 04 and Chrysler 300c 06. The Dodge had water pump, fuel pump, and clutch at 80-90k and the Chrysler had a bad cyl 6 lifter at 75k. These two combined were in the shop much less than the Chevy I had and I won't even talk about my Ford. It's whatever makes you happy and I am happy with my current vehicles after some bad experiences.

Cool builds guys, love the creativity.

Thought I'd share this cool project.

I would definitely stay inside, but this is one of the reasons I live west of the Rockies-milder temps with four seasons and low humidity . I do look forward to your build progress though Stay Warm

Nice progress on a challenging project. Watching

That's one cool display-well done

That is one cool Ferrari-nice job

I'm guessing that nothing can be done but I miss the new content button compared to the unread content for the following reasons. With out clicking to open up a thread it is... Harder to distinguish the originator of the post vs the responder and we can only do a quick view of the last responder but not the thread starter. We can no longer see the start date of a post. Was it created today ( which is new content) or 10 yrs ago but is getting a new reply. I also dislike the round avatars. My 2 cents. Thanks for the great forum though. Steve

Not yet Craig but I am planing to get this going again soon. It needs/deserves to be finished.

I seem to recall this being an average kit but I really liked it and wish I still had it or any of my youth builds.

Most of us seem to have traveled a similar road to get here. Welcome and I agree that this forum is awesome!

Not a fan. The only thing that remotely interests me is the headlights being tied to the firewall but even that doesn't quite fit this look. E for effort.

Too cool! I like the history and execution.

Nice start. I bought several of these with the intention to make a 4 door as well as the stock kit. Do you have any intentions of making this a 4 door because I wouldn't mind knowing the do's and don'ts of that process. Either way I look forward to your build.

Neat project- I really like the first reference pic and hope you can show us how it's done.

I like what you have done so far and those tires look soooo much better.

X6 I have seen alot of conflicts over the years, but have felt the mods have been fair and timely to keep this a friendly drama free forum. Thanks

That is awesome, thanks for your effort and dedication. I personally appreciate it.

I like the color and subject. Well done.

Thank you all for the kind following on this project. I have successfully restored all pictures and added a few that were not in the original thread. I am trying to get back in the building mode to finish this but it's a process that can't be rushed. I do ponder daily about how to finish this but there are problems I am still trying to figure out how to build. I will post updates when they happen. The fabrication is very close to being done, I just need to make it happen. Thanks again, Shiny and Chrome, Steve

Another masterpiece, well done.

Thanks guys, it looks like I'm have some success at adding the photos but it is a PITA. Hopefully in a couple of days I can have this restored.

Hi everyone. Sadly Photobucket has blocked all my pics but I am going to try to upload directly to this forum and replace them all. The Gigahorse progress has slowed down. I have done a little work on the spear gun but little else. Thanks for the interest and support and wish me luck to restore this build.
