Now that is awesome.

And with all your bench space, you will be able to lay out all of our 13 PACE 427 hardware storage compartments for easy access to your nuts,bolts, etc.

Is there anyone interested in taking over this project? I just don't have the time or commitment that this project requires anymore. Please PM me for details.

Really sorry to hear Dave - Going from the work you have done with all your other builds you would have done this project justice.

May be part of the problem? This thread started January last year and the body still looks a while off. Good things take time but that is enough to test anyone.


Im sure someone with the time and patience would snap this up - I certainly would if powerball came in last week.

Cheers

Thanks for the emails, PM's and support Fella's. I'm only putting out feelers. If there is no interest then business as usual.
The post above sums it up.

Cheers
Dave

That manual looks great, must have cost a small fortune to have it made up, I know I taught myself to use solids works and there is some serious time wrapped up in that detail.. I like it though.

Hi All

Not much progress.....

Latest is Craig assures me all my parts will be ready to send in 4 weeks times in a sea container that's coming to WA.
Mark assured me 3 weeks ago the body would be ready for Pace to pick up in 6-7 weeks. I have not seen any pictures of the body progress for a few months.
If all these deadlines are met then great.

I hope when it arrives the love returns.

I'm sure once you see it in the flesh you will rekindle that connection and start to forget about the negative aspect of this process..

I'm hoping you're right Wil. Fingers crossed for a positive outcome.

Also there is no doubting the quality of Marks work....he is a true Artisan and maybe one of the best in the world at his craft.

Can I ask what may be a dumb question, but watching him on Facebook it looks he is too'ing and fro'ing between several projects. It seems to me like this one in particular needs just his time, I mean i'ts not like he would be waiting for parts....so why doesn't he just focus on one thing and finish that?

not having a dig, just wondered.

BTW it looks awesome

I have asked myself the same question plus many more. Seems to be a number of obstacles and other projects that have caused delays, some extra moulds were needed and a bit of confusion. Hopefully its full steam ahead now....
