Re: For motivation

come here read and look at pictures, and or switch to another project for a while see sig for details. boat has to be done for late spring, truck needed power brakes before pulling boat again, rearend with posi would be great for slick boat ramps and fun but optional as well as a better seat with cupholders.
oh yeah make a list, actually write it down, so you dont spend 3 hours scratching your head wondering what you were doing last.

Re: For motivation

You can always take a break.
Plan more mods, or the next step of the resto.
Work on another aspect of the resto.
Stop and figure out WHY you are spinnin your tires.
Come on here and shoot the crap a bit

Re: For motivation

Its just right now i am so close to finally being able to drive the truck and then everything take a crap, I was hoping to get to drive it before I got sent to Japan but it doesnt look like it is going to happen. So I am going to go and save up some money to resto the truck and add a few mods when I get back.

Breath in


Breath out



Deeper breath in


Breath out


Breath in



Now Fart
All pressure is gone

Mostly I just leave it, come here and see what is up on the board and realize I'll get it someday. I bought mine mostly to relax and work on. I'd like to drive it again someday, but I love working on it as time allows.
