Re: off topic a little, maybe but how do you have the energy
For me it's a pure passion I guess. Besides my wife and kids, outside of work I eat sleep and breath old cars and trucks. Do I get discouraged during a project? Absolutely. But for me building them is the fun part. And I usually have more than one project going so I am always all over the place so the only advice I can offer is look towards the point of when you can actually drive it and enjoy it. Watch a show like Roadkill and that will light some fire. I'd really like to do a trip like that some day. Fly to a location, buy an old car or truck, get it running and then drive it back home with no care in the world and just enjoy it. Someday I will do this with my kids.
Or, get out to a local cars and coffee or any show. Meet some people in your area and a lot of times that will help keep you going on your project. That has worked for me in the past too.
