      Signs your project needs some work.

      Ok here is somthing we all can relate to in some way or another, these don't true. What are some sure fire signs that your project may need some work.

      Like if you decide to use a DA sander to strip your car because your scared of what may be blown away, and half the quarter panel falls off before you hit metal... your project may need alittle work.

      If you check the VIN numbers on your mustang, and it comes up as a 88 chevy pick up your project may need some work.

      lets see what you guys can up with.

      You keep buying other cars to enjoy because your project isn't finished. STOP buying other cars and GET TO WORK.

      You buy enough spare parts to build another car, build the car then realize the original project that you bought is still sitting then unfiinished.

      When you buddies refer to your paint job as "primer", as in "that blue primer could really mess up the color".

      When you buy a brake booster, then a vacuum pump and then a Hydraboost and still haven't installed any of them.

      Or when you forget what you originally had planned for the project.

      If you live in a house that is mobil and have 5 cars in the front yard that aren't.......you might be a redneck.

      when you start the project and your youngest brother is still in high school, then when he's 28 he starts his own project and has it done first.
