This is why you need a two week rule:

I try to do one project at a time which let's me get the truck back on the road in a week or two. In fact, I sometimes miss opportunities to work on or replace Part B when Assembly A is torn apart.
That, plus I have never bought an old car or truck that didn't run and drive. Probably because I know my limits!
