Payton, I think Jim may have said it best, take a break for a while. Jody also hit the nail right on the head as far as not working on it when there is no "fire" going on in your gut. You will plan better, and build better, when fueled by desire to do a good job, vs. the desire to "just be finished"...Remember that this is a hobby and something you should be enjoying... Big projects like these, where you are rebuilding the entire car can be really daunting at times. And it can be easy to get a little discouraged when every car project featured in the media seems to get built in 4 days and with unlimited resources...When I get in a funk like what you are describing, that's when I usually put down the car hobby and go play with computers or my ATVs, or do some woodworking...It's amazing too, (at least for me) how, after you back away from your project for a little while, when you come back to it, you seem to have some new insights/better ideas. It's like your brain keeps working on it in the background! Anyway...I've rambled enough. As Jim said, we are all pullin' for you! -Rob
