Got tired of building things with a keyboard(software engineer) and wanted to build something special with my own bare hands to see what I was capable of. The first year and half of building was fun, but after that my motivation changed to just wanting to finish. After finally completing version 1 of my '69 after 2.5 years, I was slightly disappointed with the performance. So I spent another year building version 2. Now, I could not be happier with the final result and feel my original mission is complete. I did what I wanted to do and proved what I wanted to prove and I'm done. I now just want to drive and enjoy all my hard work, and get out of the garage and spend more time with my friends, family, and other hobbies. My next build will hopefully be raising children.
