finding motivation
What do you guys do to keep motivated on your projects? I need to do a bed swap that I keep putting off because I just can`t get motivated to get started.

Re: finding motivation
Usually what motivates me is seeing other people's cars/trucks at car shows.

Re: finding motivation
I just hang up pictures of cars that are basically what I plan to achieve when I'm done. while I'm working on it if i need some motivation or a break I just go over to the pictures I put up and think that they too pry looked like what I am currently working on at one time. And that motivates me enough to get back to working.

Re: finding motivation
I have had my truck for about 3 years now. I wanted one for about 5 years before that. Once I got it, I didn't do anything of substance to it for about 2 years. What finally got me motivated was when I stopped trying to tackle the whole truck at once. I found little projects I could handle and complete. I just finished the engine swap earlier this year. It only took me 4 months to do it, but I did it myself!
As 87shortybawx said, pictures help too. I've posted this truck before, but I look at it every now and then to keep me focused.
