Interesting thread, this one...
It covers the entire gamut...improve and build while you drive or strip it down to the bare frame and start up.
One may start out with a certain intent and then we see the words on a parts-for-sale ad that says "decided to go a different direction, my loss is your gain"
Most projects I have done started with a decent vehicle to begin with that just needed some TLC and perhaps a mechanical makeover......until...I bought a 67 step side. A truck that I have always liked and always wanted to have.
At first it appeared to be fairly solid and I knew it needed some work on the engine and drivetrain. I was fine with that as well as being excited and motivated.
Once I started, I quickly realized it wasn't as solid as I thought and the fun began.
Today I am at the bare frame juncture...over the course of the last 2 years, I have bought lots of parts in preparation and have reached the point where it's time to start putting it all back together.
This is a monumental task which will require lots of time....but I am still motivated and prepared to see it through to completion. I will work on it as much as time allows in order to finish it within a reasonable time.
I think that some projects drag on for so long because the builder enjoys working on it more than finishing it...IDK?
Anyway, wish me luck...
