Re: Motivation
One step at a time bud. When I really get stuck I'll look up what I need on this site and then break it down into bite size pieces. Don't get overwhelmed by one big item. Also its a good excuse to get friends over to the house to kick back BBQ and work on my truck.
I have a 66 thats my daily driver and a 65 stepside in my garage that I'm working on and buying parts for! |

Re: Motivation
Or, you could put your finished car in the driveway (if you have one) and your project in the garage. I know I have to get the truck finished so I can get my more expensive car back in the garage.

Re: Motivation
I bought a dry erase board and hung it in here with my computer and wrote down stuff i need to do and order car shows/swap meets etc. it feels great to erase one off when i accomplish something. Write down even simple things like install xxxx bolts, install glove box door, paint xxxxx etc. And i don't even have a garage so that makes it harder but i still love it.

Re: Motivation
all very good advice above - incremental steps, sub-projects;
I just passed 6-year anniversary since starting and right now my truck is torn down farther than at any time in the past, so… this weekend I'm concentrating on doors only, also slowly gathering the little parts I'll need to reassemble doors and cab back onto the frame. don't get discouraged - if it stops being fun for the day, walk away and come back with a fresh plan |
