im working on an 85 c10, a 79 camaro, and an 81 yamaha virago. the camaro came first but the more crap i get the further back on the burner it goes. so if you dont mind some of your projects lacking a little attention occasionally id say go for it!

cochino12 · 04-12-2011, 10:41 PM

as many as his wife will allow. In my case 2.5

lilpoindexter · 04-12-2011, 11:09 PM

It's not that you have too many projects...it's just that you don't have enough work/ storage space.

craazy22 · 04-12-2011, 11:46 PM

Line? What is that? Line?. Don't understand....

Look at my sig....its a never ending project. I'm still looking for more too. lol

allengator · 04-13-2011, 03:54 PM

depends on your definition of "handle"...

RandyP · 04-13-2011, 04:16 PM

Well, I have one that is almost done, 1 that has not even been thought of very much and then a "toy". So 3 is not out of the question as long as one of them is almost done. My wife doesn't say a thing.

Granted I don't keep any of them at home either. I'm sure that would play a huge role in the scheme of keeping momma happy.

BIG V · 04-13-2011, 04:21 PM
