all t v 's should be thrown to the street they are nothing but garbage for the brain and bad on the body. my wife has the radio going on the weekend, way better motivator for her and me on things to do. music, nascar, sports, and some real news all better in the garage. the cold and shorter days seem to put a damper on things

I have a nice sized crack in the metal on my door right by the hinge and I don't really care. I even have a new door put together in the garage, ready to go on. It's sitting right next to my new box that needs to be put together and another pile of parts. My new fenders should be in any day now, as well. They will look real nice sitting there. I fully blame this on www.67-72chevytrucks.com. I supose the weather has something to do with it as well.

To be honest I wish I had some time to just sit on my butt and not do anything, I am almost done with a job (shutdown) down here near austin, we are on day 107 of straight 12 hr shifts, 7 days a week. I am 70 miles from home, doesn't seem too far, but still after working 12's I don't feel like making the drive. I've been living in my RV. I have not done anything on my truck for over 3 months and missing it.

good news is I have purchased about $3000 worth of goodies for my truck and part of them are getting installed this week.

I guess what gets me back in the shop even when it's cold, is I would rather be at a car show showing off my finished truck drinking beer rather than staring at a TV screen wishing my truck was done.

my shop has a huge heater compared to the space but the floor is so cold that there is ice on it. but the main reasons i dont really work on my dads truck is because im waiting for him to get an engine crane and the shop is full of crap that isnt safe to move to the house cause of the ice and snow.

[Indyuke]

If someone would buy me truck stuff, I would work on my truck.

Nah... I just put new shocks in my truck about a week ago. It rides nice, but It's been too cold here to do much of anything. An unheated garage floor in 5deg weather is killer on the body. I did take a minor trip up to the mountains to haul a mean kitty out of my neighborhood. Let the poor bugger go into the winterland of 8ft snow drifts. Then I had fun bulldozing my way back home.

Going to shows gets me going....

I told you I felt your pain but...Looks like the TV and this site will suffer from some Brento withdrawles over the next couple of days!! (You folks do kick some serious butt here and the info is invaluable so I may sneak in for some advice!) It's gonna literally be metal madness in the garage for the next 4 days. I got my rockers, pillars, and kick panels in and took the next 4 days off work thanks to awesome communication with my supplier. I have to share this story. GMC Pauls kicked A$$ with the shipping/packaging of my parts and his prices and part quality is exceptional. My job keeps me on and off the road so timing can be critical and will lead me to saying "I'll get to it after the next trip". I placed an order on New Years Eve and did a follow up on Tuesday. The only reason I even bothered them with a follow up was due to some warmer weather swinging through this weekend and I thought if the moons, stars, etc. were aligned, I could get some work done. First I was amazed my bank had processed payment so quickly so i dropped GMC Pauls an e-mail. Had a personal response in an hour telling me my parts would be here Wednesday. I was blown away. Holiday, weekend, and my parts are on my porch 4 business days later. WOW!! If they were to stock the Super Wal-Mart inventory I wouldn't have to go shopping until I needed gas for work. The parts are here so I'll be getting through, what to me is, the most daunting and critical repairs I have to make. Already had the corners on hand and finally finished a full floor replacement last week so this gets me waaaay ahead of my procrastinated schedule. I'll definately take some pics and spend some time on my build thread to show my trials and tribulations. BTW I used to be a site supporter a couple of years ago and took a break from my build and let things fall to the wayside but inspiration and education from the peeps here has pulled me back into the fold. My name should be in blue soon.
Ya'll need to stop making excuses and get out there and work on your dang trucks!!
