Ridge Rider Posted November 26, 2023 Author Share Posted November 26, 2023 So after seven hours of searching I found the exhaust pieces safely wrapped up with pieces from another project. Not sure how I did that but glad I found them. I'll share some photos of this before the body gets added. If all goes well I hope to have this done today. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duddly01 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 This is one crazy build, I can't wait to see how it turns out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Rider Posted November 29, 2023 Author Share Posted November 29, 2023 (edited) It's a bittersweet day, the Gigahorse is done. When I started this I didn't imagine it would take 8 years and over 1200 hours to complete but I guess that's part of the process of building something like this. It was a lot of fun to research and fabricate and has greatly improved my skills. Thanks for the support and encouragement along the way. There will be a lot more pictures in the Under Glass section soon.

drifterdon Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 What an epic build! Congrats for staying with it to the end. I know many of us loose interest to see something of this magnitude through to the end but you hung in there. Way to go! It's definitely an award winner at whatever contest you enter it in. Peoples choice!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David G. Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Congratulations! 😮 I was always afraid that this would be one of those overly ambitious projects that fades unfinished into obscurity. It must be a great feeling for you to have completed this glorious build. I look forward to seeing the final photos. David G. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve The link to Under Glass It's been a minute since I've perused through the WIP section at any length and what do I see when I do......THIS beauty. I've been waitin' me a long time to see this one cross the finish line and buddy.....you sure did THAT with this one. I simply cannot say enough good things about this build Steve. It's been a long time comin' but you finished this one up with honors bud. Edited December 12, 2023 by mustang1989 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
