Re: 49' Patina bagged in PA

Hey billy, you'll get there man. I think the same thing. I look back at a year ago when I was just finishing up this shack of a garage, had no electric, didn't have half the crap I got in there now. Its been 10 months since I yanked this body off frame. I went from 1 day a week to 2-3 days a week now since my gal lost her job. Man I would be really behind if that had not happened!! But... now I'm spending money I don't have like water. I have put about 400 hrs into everything so far. Most of dash and engine I worked on during the week after work, so I'v been squeezing every hour in I can. It's tiring and to look back on all the stuff you have to do to get them on the road, well its overwhelming.

Just gotta take it one day at a time, order what parts you can afford and hope it all falls into the timeline of what your doing. I spend hours everyday looking for parts, the best deals I can, and alot of researching on the net. I just want this thing done and i won't half step things so its not like I can just finish it quick! I'v had a vision for this thing about a year bf I started it, so its been a long mental and physical battle. To make matters worse I have 2 projects for my friend I'm suppose to do, and way more of my own to atleast start on, would like to do one just like this after I'm done, in between all the other stuff.

Some days you'll feel like it will be done in no time and others you'll think of all the little things that still need done and you'll be doing circles in your head. Just chip away and it will all come together someday.
