He shows me around the shop and it's pretty much what I expected. Pretty clean and lots of high tech. When we go into the office I see a bunch of very cool framed Cars with trophy's and such. Zane then proceeds to tell me about his time doing work for Texas Metal on the show. Sure enough I checked out the episodes and there he is. I took my 33 too them early in July, have been checking in on it every couple of weeks, still sitting inside out of their way with zero being done. I'm kinda frustrated, not totally because he did say it could take 4 months to complete, maybe more. I think what will happen they will at some time just dig in and thrash. I just wanted to vent a little. Thanks
    Sorry, I must have missed this update last year - I'm kinda fascinated by this pic. It may be an optical illusion, but it appears your rear wheel is way further back than mine. I found a similar picture of mine to compare. Was this something that you did intentionally? Or is this Gen2 has longer lower arms to center the wheel better? Interesting!
