Restoration insanity

I found a great way to get any large project accomplished, be it a house remodel, vehicle work etc is to do one bit per day minimum.

No matter how small the step, make 1 per day. It might be 5mins, but 1) those few minutes a day really do add up over time, and 2) it keeps you mentally engaged in the project and thinking about what’s next.

Ex - last night for 10mins I loosely mounted a radiator support, put bolts in the parts cleaning tank and laid out my cab mount kit.

Nothing huge, just keeping the big heavy ball slowly rolling. After a month of those small nudges, you’ll be surprised what’s accomplished.

This is the key. No matter how small a task get something done nearly every day!

I am currently nearing the end of my second every nut and bolt frame off and one thing that i learned from the first one is when you are disassembling blast, paint, fix or repair the pieces as they come off. It makes the assembly more enjoyable and way faster.

I can also add that if you are modifying from the original design (like adding fuel injection, power windows or locks, after market A/C etc.) it is going to take you 10 time longer than you think.
