Yep! But I find if I take a break and put it away for a little while I always find my way back with new motivation.

I've woke up in a roadside ditch. Don't wake up in a roadside ditch.

Yes, been there. I find if I take a break that I end up with another project. So I usually take a break by finding something easy to work on. That small sense of accomplishment can usually get you out of rut.
If that doesn't work, use dynamite....or drive into the Jet Dryer.

Yes , it happens .
I've been working on my car all winter and still don't have it back together . It seems like something is always getting in the way and slowing my progress..
The best thing to do is step back for a short time and then go back at it from a fresh perspective ..Jeff Tate

I found over the years that it really comes down to how much funding you have to build a car like these. If you box your ideas in and stick to it according to plan you get done sooner and sooner is always going to put a smile on your face at some point. Stick to the vision you had in the beginning and change things once the car is on the road. Life tends to let us believe it is easier to succeed at playing with cars than it really is, Hang in there.
Now ask yourself, did you want us to give you a good swift kick! LOL . You build these things to get away from all the other things in life that get in the way. The time to build always comes back !!May The Horsepower Be With You !!!
