Actually there have been a couple of comments about fast frame swaps recently. I was not intenting to critique you in particular, it was more a commentary on "feature creep" and what to expect in terms of time and money. Assuming your are as geeky as the rest of us, it's pretty hard to resist upgrading/cleaning/painting a lot more stuff once it's apart....(or the dark side - finding some stuff that's really bad that you didn't expect). I'm running into the same thing on my quick clean-up project car, which is pretty wierd on a car I'll probably sell relatively quickly.
