Project halted

Doesn't it figure that just as I was making progress on my 68, life happened and has brought my work to a stop. I just got the frame painted and i'm finishing up some of the smaller pieces (motor stands, A-arms, etc). I was getting ready to order over $1000 in parts to get the suspension and steering done. Then all of a sudden i'm getting an estimate for installing a new septic system. Our old one was almost broken and was not going to be able to be fixed. So...almost 4 grand later i've got a new concrete tank in my yard and I can flush my toilet with no worries. Now i'm at a hold for ordering the parts and i'm going to have to let things sit. Maybe I can find some little things to do to it that won't cost much.

That's crappy (sorry, I couldn't help myself). Seriously though, it seems life has a way delivering its surprises at the most inopportune times. I hope you'll be able to find some inexpensive things to do in the meantime while your cash flow builds back up. BTW, love the avatar...Calvin and Hobbes has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid.

Thanks for the support guys. I'm just an impatient person anyway and now I have to wait for the play money fund to build back up. I guess that's the problem owning your own place...sometimes I wish we were renters. lol

That stinks. No pun intended. There is still a lot you can probably do with little or no money. Start breaking out the cleaner, sand paper and spray paints. That can keep you busy for months and costs near nothing.
