I looked at your build thread and I see a camaro/firebird project. Looks like you have more than one project in your shop also.

Re: Addicted to projects/Completed Projects

Hello my name is Squirrel .. and I am addicted to projects! Next project... bigger garage! It started with my first car Mustang II.

I did not have a lot of money so I had to learn to fix stuff on my own. That car always had stuff to fix!!

Then it was a Baja Bug .. same thing .. play .. break .. fix .. play .. break and so on

I blame my Dad he always had a toy he'd be working on. That is my oldest son in the picture sleeping with my stinger exhaust. I am sure he will blame me someday.

Re: Addicted to projects/Completed Projects

If I spend too much time indoors my wife kicks me out to the garage! I try to stay busy with the kids and projects. Yes that is four kids.

I tell the wife I need one more muscle car so I can give one to each of the kids, but she is not buying that at all!!!

Now I just have the three and I could not be happier. How do I find the time? Cheap labor ... LOL j/k they work for ice cream and that is expensive now

Re: Addicted to projects/Completed Projects

It would take me two days just to make a list of my projects and then another day to prioritize them.

I agree ... I only listed the cooler of my projects over my short existence on earth. I can't imagine some of the stories you guys have!!!

They add up fast don't they?

Re: Addicted to projects/Completed Projects

Nice projects guys! I'm sure my projects will come to a halt when I start having kids so I have to try to get them done before that.

You hit the nail on the head. Kids are the most expensive projects you can tackle and you can never get them completed. Also the best projects.
