I've been following this one from the beginning. I'm glad to see that you're following through with the build, even though it is, I'm sure, at great expense to you.
With that said, building a full show truck in 2 months is a lofty goal, even for a fully operational shop, let alone for what appears to be, for the most part, a one man show. So many things have to go right to build a SEMA caliber vehicle in 2 months, and, to be honest, when you still gathering materials in mid-september, you probably should have maybe stepped back and taken stock of the situation. Optimisim is great, but realism has to come into play at some point too. You had to know at some point that there was no way this truck was going to make the deadline, and I think that's what most people here are frustrated with. If you had just come out in the end of September and said that some things had gone down, and it wasn't going to be finished in time for SEMA, you would not have nearly as many people on you about this build.
Again, the work looks great, and it is definately shaping up to be a bad ass truck, and I'm glad you're sticking with it. I think in the end, the owner is going to be happy with it, and that's more importan than anything...
For what it's worth, I started a SEMA build in august too... for 2012 ;)
