      Hey man,

      I'm sorry to hear about your parts breakage... But, like you said, you wouldn't be pushing hard enough if you weren't breaking parts!



      Unfortunately, this is not an inexpensive hobby. Especially when you have life, family, work, and other projects getting in the way of progress. You've got plenty of years to enjoy the car. Just take it at whatever pace you can afford. I've done that for years. I actually like the build part of the project too. It's a lot more fun racing the vehicles but I get a lot of enjoyment and friendship time during the build as well.

      I have always had hotrods in my life but I have had a TON of distractions along the way. I got into 3-wheeler and 4-wheeler racing, water skiing and kneeboarding, flying radio controlled airplanes, college football tailgating, etc. They all took time and money away from my car projects. They were all short-term hobbies (except for the college football tailgating) that were always replaced with car projects...

      Good luck with the rebuild and keep up the great job on the car!
