Any of you page through books like this planning truck projects?

Re: Obsessed?
When the parts start to show up in the living room, you know the obsession is real...

Re: Obsessed?
Mine never get past the kitchen. I tried the laundry room once and that didn't go over too well either.

Re: Obsessed?
I kept my vent windows in the living room for two months, and my door panels for a week. My window regulators were in my study for six months. My wife is very understanding!

I usually get the eye roll with my crazy shenanigans when she walks in the door

Re: Obsessed?
Priceless! I’ve got some stuff stashed inside the house in a couple bedrooms and the living room. My woman is usually easy going. Her braking point was a nasty tailgate on the counter and a grill in the jucuuzi tub. (How was I supposed to know she was planning to use the tub)

Re: Obsessed?
Is it safe to wash dash gauge lenses in the dishwasher like that? I am preparing to transform my 72 gauge pod into a 1967 (well, technically 68) one, and I was not sure how to wash the lenses safely.

Re: Obsessed?
Looking thru books, forums and back yards wherever I go, always looking for a new project. Kept the front end parts from ece on the table for about a month, just my wife and now that my daughters off to college. Which reminds me the back glass is in her room.
