Ok, the term "Cloney" has began to stick around here and I felt it was only appropriate to start a thread to help everyone define when they've reached the Cloney point.
I'll start the thread with the following:
You know you are a Cloney when you find yourself standing in Lowes looking at plumbing parts trying to figure out how you can incorporate them into your build.
You know you are a Cloney when you spend your free time searching EBay for overpriced OEM parts.
You know you are a Cloney when the terms Gelcoat and Resin actually mean something to you.
You know you are a Cloney when you can explain what a DnR, G24, G28 are.
You know you are a Cloney when you spend more time collecting parts then installing parts.
You know you are a Cloney when your build has tripled the original estimate and you still aren't done.
You know you are a Cloney if you've upgraded more than 5 parts on your original build.
You know you are a Cloney when you dream of carbon fiber parts.
You know you are a Cloney when you know that OEM doesn't stand for Octopus Eating Mammal.
You know you are a Cloney when you can figure out how to make a $5.00 junk yard part function better than a $1000 original Lamborghini part.
You know you are a Cloney when you are inhaling fiberglass dust and fumes in your spare time.
You know you are a Cloney when test fit and compare parts in photoshop.
Ok.. your turn.

Wow Chris, every one of these apply to me with the exception of one:
...your build has tripled the original estimate and you still aren't done.
Don't worry. I'm sure I'll get there eventually! ;)

-
When you start three more projects and you haven't finished the first one ::scratch ::beers
Best thread yet
-
It's not just cars. I have been way better at collecting projects than finishing them for years.
-
When you miss your exit on the PA Turnpike while wondering if the door glass on the car next to you will be a suitable replacement for your replica. Next exit thirteen miles! Great! lol
I did that last week on the way home from work. ::duh
-
You know you are a Cloney when you travel long distance to meet others from the forum, just to talk about Lamborghini's for hours.
You know you are a Cloney when you are happy to get half melted OE parts to help make a replica part.
-
You know you are a cloney when, your build cost is actually 3-5 times more than what your wife believes you have invested!!! :-X
You've convinced your wife that picking up the body for your car would make a great vacation!!! :LL:
Every corner of your house has some sort of car part in it!!!
You spend more time thinking about how to mount the body then having sex!!!
You are "concidered crazy" by friends/coworkers that think the below picture is what you are building, but you continue to cram useless Lamborghini facts down there throat anyway!!! ::beers
-
You know you're a cloney when you go into the garage at 9am and only come out for bathroom brakes, work till your head hurts because you forgot to eat,come out at 9pm, angry that you are too tired to work anymore because you always screw up when you are tired, and not only do you not consider it cruel and unusual punishment, you can't wait to do it again!
-
I have nothing ::tongue This is all so true I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one with these issues! By far the greatest thread love it!!!
-
You know you are a Cloney when you cannot WAIT to see the UPS/ FEDEX/ USPS truck at your door bringing those parts that you won on EBAY
-
You are a "Certified Cloney" when:
you take parts off of your wife's car to finish your build.
you have a three stall garage and all of your drivers are sitting outside.
you have "Fast Food" delivery phone numbers written all over the garage walls.
you wake up under your replica and it's 10:00 am and you don't know what day it is.
you fall asleep while cutting steel on your bandsaw.
-
you have a three stall garage and all of your drivers are sitting outside.
Haha. Glad im not the only one.
-
Just thought of another one today!
You know your a cloney when your UPS guy, and or mail man regularly stop in to check on your build!!!
-
You are a true cloney when...you ingest more than half of the bondo that you spread in dust. This makes you a "Bondified Cloney".
you use your wifes mixmaster to stir the cream hardener into the Kittyhair.
