I completely agree, I've had three separate start and finsh dates in fifteen years on the same truck,(I keep changing things because either my tastes change or I see something new I wish to do).

It's better to get happy with working on the truck and how it looks and runs after it's done, than it is to get happy with looking at calenders,(the only exception might be is if the Babes on the calenders are seriously hotter than any trucks! Since Trucks tend to be far more reliable than the Babes, that's going to be very rare!).

Re: a Year ago

Me and you must be alot alike... We work better with deadlines or planned goals. I got my truck a year ago last month (Nov2009), it sat for 2 months then I spent two weeks tearing it apart then I found this drag car I just had to rebuild. I spent from Feb-May building it. Then back hard core on the truck in June. In 6 months I have almost completly rebuilt the truck. I cant belive how much I have got done in 6 months. Vortec 454 w/ 4/80e swap. rebuilt rearend, airbags, full 2 tone custom paint, custom interior, custom stereo system, gps alarm, alot of mods, ect... All I have left is my driveshaft (is being made now, front windshield, upper and lower trim on drivers side, tailgate trim, and new brake lines on the front... Then Im done!!! Im driving this truck on xmas day!
