It's not a matter of waiting, I can in theory take on a similar low budget car version right now, but I'm working so much I usually can't remember what day it is. It's only when you retire you can combine time and money, and get your teeth stuck into a project of this magnitude.

@ImmortalInflames 7 лет назад

A car of that build certainly cost a fortune to build to that level, i'm sure here started on his dream car soon as he was able (both money & time) - we often have one and not the other.

@Anth230 7 лет назад

mr bad example Yup. The 50's is a critical decade for most. If we dont take care of ourselves by that age things can go wrong very quickly. In fact after our mid 30's is when you really can't continue the life you lived before. The body just changes too much....sadly too many people just don't get it and they feel good so they continue bad habits...

@christophermay4366 7 лет назад

I'm 44....bad back...high cholesterol...high blood pressure....and most recently a hernia....I still work 7 days a week....haven't fixed the hernia yet....and also failing eye sight.....

@Anth230 7 лет назад

Christopher May Well the bad back is caused by over working. I have a bad back as well but most people have issues with their back by their 40's. You probably have degenerative disc by this point and some arthritis. Not a big deal and can be overcome with working out and keeping muscles strong. Eyesight...most people need reading glasses or better by their 40's again not a big deal. I have worn glasses since I was 9 and they have steadily gotten worse over the years. High cholesterol and high blood pressure....yeah that's a big deal. I have neither. My cholesterol was about 220 and it took a few years to get below 200. Cut beef and pork 100% out of diet. If you don't get those under control soon you are headed for heart issues...you overweight?

@AnonymousFreakYT 7 лет назад

To me, there's a difference between "period-detail custom" and "modern supercustom". A '57 Chevy with all modern parts inside, where only the outer body is '57 Chevy any more wouldn't be very interesting. And I don't think Jay would feature any customs he doesn't like.

Bruce was definitely a "car guy" (kinda like an excited kid really) when I started working at Bayside his demo was a new Guards Red 928 S4 with a giant, full color, 12" x 18" Porsche decal right in the middle of the hood.....R.I.P.
