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!

Re: how many projects can one guy handle

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

Re: how many projects can one guy handle

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.
