Default Least favorite part of the build process

With all my time spent in the garage recently, I was interested in your least favorite aspect of the build process. Wiring is by far my least favorite. Specifically soldering.

for me its a tie between spending all that money, and all the time spent being dirty before rebuilding... breaking rusty bolts... repairing rust, finding messed up wiring and repairing old crap.. installing new/clean stull is the best part

Waiting for it by far.... my life changed for the good, the bad, back to good, and then to bad by the time the car was done.

Keeping it clean when it's done.

I always feel like it's a waste of time, because I'll just have to do it again, .

Bodywork. More specifically, application and blocking/sanding of filler and then the constant cleanup of all the dust. A close 2nd is the stripping/cleaning of all the muck from the underside and engine compartment.

I don't farm out any work. Paint and body work are the areas I dislike the most.
