LOL!! Nothing pisses me off more than wasting hours of build time trying to find the parts I labeled and organized so well! Worse is having my wife point out the part or box I was looking for in seconds of being in the garage. Sorry man, but I think we all can relate to those days. Better days ahead!!

Well, I was planning to go racing today, but it's a rain-out, so I have all day to look for my missing box of parts

The worst part is that I've got 1/2 my parts in my garage, and the other half in my dad's shop 15 miles away, so when something is missing, I assume it's in the other one. Depending on how bad I need it, it costs me 5 bucks to drive to the other garage to find out that it's not there either

I thought I was the only one who had that problem. I swear, I waste more time trying to find stuff, parts or tools, than I spend getting work done.

I found the box of parts, but that's all I got accomplished today... going to spend the rest of the weekend pulling the engine out of a parts-car '93 caprice.

There's been times I've thought my car was haunted when problems take forever to solve. Makes it tough to enjoy 'the chase'! And then there's the take-off parts that turn invisible until I buy replacements and then wind up with spares

Keep at it!!

I have restored a 69 Z-28 that looks really great as a 20-20 driver (20 feet away @ 20 mph) I am often asked how many of these I have restored. I usually reply "FOUR!".

Why four?

Because I have done every thing on this one car at least 4 times, after screwing it up the first three times.

No Joke. Hang in there man.
