If I ever actually get one done, then I'd be sad, because I'd have nothing to do...

Time and money
 

It takes my time to earn the extra money to fund the project. The original build schedual was three years......... That was five years ago. Now when asked I use the fail safe statement of "before I retire". Then there is the "higher priorities", wife wanted a new car, needed new windows in the house, Etc. Those items ate half the Extra money this year. But it is as much about the journey as the arrival.

[QUOTE=Bulldog68]Long hours at work, household projects, and a lack of work space. My 2 car garage is packed tight

Have to say I know your pain. A lack of space(single garage with my car 2 single seat airplanes, motors transmissions ect), a 75 hr work week,and 3 kids going through university. pretty much takes up all the assets needed to work on my project. despite that I am making glacial progress.

Time, there's just not enough hours in the day. Sleep is overrated. lol

Time,time ,time. I own a collision shop,im hands on 80+ hour work weeks are the norm.I always put my buisness first. Now I have the means to do my car the way I want , but it still comes down to time. So this year I hired a extra man to help with the work load and free up some time for me. I 've had my car for three years now and just cut my first check to Frank at Prodigy,now its go time. I'm just happy I do'nt have answer the same question over and over "When are you going to start working on your Camaro" well I can say NOW!!!:thumbsup:

2 young kids...in a private school setting....cha chinge :D

Customer cars take a priority for me.
My personal projects seem to be second in line to that.
By the time I find time to do my own, the current trends change the original design and I need to start over.:lol:
All my customer cars are designed and treated as if they were my own so that makes up for my lack of a personal ride.

I am too busy driving it! :D :D


Actually, with a finished car things are easier, although I do not do alot of the work myself, when things go wrong it tends to be electrical or transmission related and well over my head. So I have a trustworthy restoration shop that is great to me, but charges me 4 times what I make an hour, so sometimes I have to put things off!

Oh, and I am also two hours away at school most of the time, or their is a foot of snow outside its warm garage!

Let it be spring!!

For me, it's the cold weather. I just can't bring myself to get out in the garage when it's in the 30's. Although I do have a heater (waste oil) it takes quite a while to warm things up. Steve (HRBS) has been doing his part by making me feel bad for not getting more done. :bow: This weekend I should be able to make some progress.
