quad bart this is a good example of how everyone test the waters to see what going on. we were testing the waters to make sure grady was legit as grady was testing the water to see what he could get for the bike. its not a matter of lying or anything like that its a matter of finding out who you ae dealing with. im still waiting for that check to be transfered to my caymen account. look at it this way. your daughter comes to you and says i have met this guy 2big2bfast online and im gonna meet him and were going to the grand caymen for a month. would she get to go or would you check into it first. i can not accept cash on the deal we made, strictly money transfer[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Grady,
No insult was meant with the low ball figure that I mentioned. It was stated as "steal it" because I was sure that you had a significant amount of money into the project. Unfortunatly, it's like any other hot rod that gets built, you'll never get out of it what you get in. Sometimes you may get close with a finished project, but it's well known in the Hot Rod world that one of the best buys is to grab is a half done project.
I'm sorry to here that your builder bailed on you, and I hope that you can get to a point that satisfies you wether that is getting it sold for a fair amount of money or finishing it. How far along with the project was the builder suposed to be for the money you have paid him so far? Was it to be done already? Unfortunatly, you do still have alot of small and medium things to do and buy. Is the frame built for any particular suspension, or was that going to be custom built also?
I know that what I commented isn't what a seller would want to see, but I have to stand by what I said. I'm not knocking the project, it looks really good. Unfortunatly, the only way I feel it would be cost effective for a buyer would be if you took a big loss. The only way you would get your money back would be if the buyer were to invest way more than needed, but it would save them time.
I wish you luck with it.
