HHRv build / non-traditional / mutating evolution

Postby working on it » Sun Jan 22, 2012 4:34 pm

I had specific, if not grandiose, plans for my TTT. Not to be. At every step, I've changed something from my original ideas, which, in turn, changes four other things (like building a budget racecar). The lack of resources and hands on time has dictated modifications and slowed the build down immeasurably. I had intended to not post much, or put pictures up until I had completely finished the HHRv, and just shown up at a gathering out of thin air. But, alas, I see that my build may stretch out for many more months...past my self-imposed deadline...and I just can't wait to put my build history up for critiques or commiseration from others. Although, in my own defense, I have no support from the wife (though I was building it for her(?) , nor adequate financing, and have only averaged about 4 hours a week or less in actual construction. Like I've said in previous posts, I'm not a woodworker...bolt together automotive parts (and sarcasm and self-deprecation) are my true mediums.... See my album for pics. I'm not even sure where to post this topic !
