I hear you on the motivation issues. First off, I remember the days from when my kids were little. The wife needs attention or simply a break. They are too small to leave to themselves. But for me lately, its just that I don't have the same feeling deep inside for the Jimmy. It's a cool project, but doesn't have the personal history my C-10 did. I just have a few details to finish up my C-10, I put so much into that project the last 2 years to get it where I always wanted it to be. The drive is just not there for the Jimmy.

In a way, it's better now. The C-10 was all consuming and added stress to me and my wife. Now I work on the Jimmy when I feel like it and it doesn't really bother me if progress is slow. You did recently finish a top notch camaro project that took a lot out of you. It's understandable to have waning interest for a time for another camaro project that is way worse than the last one and having a young family that needs you.

I'm betting most of the people on this board couldn't care less what you are working on. They just like to see anything done by someone that knows what the hell they are doing and take what we can from it for ideas, motivation or just entertainment.
All I can say is that I hear you 100%. The vent idea is great, as for the kids and wife, it is very time consuming, more than i ever thought, but in the end all works out, some things just take longer than usual! And thanks about the last paragraph, that makes me feel good. I love working and doing things. one of my favorite things to do is to help ppl, be it in person or over the net.

It was a blast!! the little thing rips, I am gonna spend two weekends in march getting bodywork done on it! getting there.
