Deadlines - tryin to make a show date

In September i always go to the Grand Run in Pidgeon Forge, TN. Maybe I could make it there, but I need to finish up tranny cooler lines, brakes & lines, gas tank stuff. So that leaves me with more unanswered questions, should I spend time trying to do the custom things I want to try, or just put things back stock and try to get my test driving in before I make the 5 hr trip to tennessee? How good do you do when you put your projects on deadlines?

As much as I know you want to go to the show, I'd say to take your time and do things right the way YOU want them. You'll have that much better of a truck for next year.

just my no sense

after thinkin about it this weekend, i don't think i'm gonna try to make that show, I have too many things to do to my truck, plus my new job, summer school, working on this new house and selling my other two trucks. They seem close, but once you get figuring up all the little things, they add up quickly.
