Default I Don't get it!!!

I follow these buggy builds on the forum. I see you guys doing some pretty intensive work! I spend approximately a day per week on my project and sometimes it looks, after hours work, I haven't touched it. Some of these projects appear as though some buggy god comes in during the night and waves some magical wand. You guys got a pocket full of midget helpers or what? Wham-bam! your off and running while mines still sitting on the table! What's wrong with this story???

Go ahead RICH1!!!!!! let me hold it! I know you're not gonna step off this one

I know the feeling; i watched builds go from start to finish while i sat figuring things out and ended up in the same spot i was 5 months earlier. Just a matter of a person's available time, and how hard they're willing to go at it. Add in the equipment one has at hand to work with and you can see why some folks can get things done faster than others. I went hard core on the mini shark, probably worked on that thing 12-16 hours a day, 7 days a week in january. I have from december through end of Feb "off" as my business is seasonal. In that time i basically restored/modified 2 of these things. I'm starting 2x daily shifts in 2 weeks, 6 days a week. It'll take me months to finish the "cosmetics" on the rockhound with that schedule, and that's probably only 20-30 hours worth of work ...

I can't speak about the speed of some people's builds, but what I don't get is how certain companies can be out of stock or have parts on back order for like 6 months and still be in business???

Anyone can do a project fast . But how long will it hold up ? It takes time and alot of effort to do something right the first time ! Im not going to say it takes you any longer to do things ...but... Im timing you with a Sundial.
