paradime Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Indy, The only mistake you can make from here on out is to look back with regret. You really need to step back and see what you have done, because in all reality this is the first day of the rest of your build, and Dude you have a huge head start. Be grateful for that gift and stay focused on the next step. The path you are on isn't an easy one, but it wouldn't be an adventure if at some point you didn't feel like the whole damn thing was a big mistake, and all you wanted to do was just go home. If your passions don't push you beyond your comfort zone once and a while, then you're just standing in line waiting to die. Anyone offering nothing but criticism is just telling you to get back in line. So to hell with that crap. Rage against the dyeing of the light Bro! Dude for me the Ruby is a monument to all that is REAL about our passion for the beloved 510. Dissing his skill, and offering opinions about what he should, or shouldn't have done is nothing but self serving bull shit. Indy's creativity and hard work is not beholding to anyone else's vision, or expectations but his own. Before offering criticism ask yourself, "have I lost touch with subjectivity, because I've got my head stuck too far up my own reality?" With any project the only thing that really matters is actually doing it, and Indy is. I feel privileged to see his vision happen. Obviously this guy is an artist and his car is form over function. IMO however, this project is the most important and exciting 510 being built right now, because he is pushing the envelope on so many levels. What I find most appealing is that he is expressing himself balls out with total disregard for pragmatism, and convention. I couldn't give a shit if his welds aren't perfect as long as the damn thing drives. Even if it were only in a straight line, and just one block, I'd be satisfied. Personally... I'm fucking SICK of "Perfection"! It's a totally unoriginal expression of advanced OCD. On that note I say; Chip Foose must die before he makes custom car culture synonymous with anal retention. If you haven't figured it out by now Indy, it's me... RonM OK, I'll take my Ritalin and get back in line now. :w00t: Link to comment

Lonestar Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Well, look at it this way, if you can't make it back into a 510, at least you'll have really neat lawn art! I think the car can still be saved, or will save others, depends on you Indy. Link to comment
