How long have you been working on your Pro touring car?

As Sieg suggested, the car is never done.

This is a HOBBY.... it should be fun... should last a lifetime... and should't be a time or financial strain. Enjoy the people you meet... the skills acquired... the tools... the satisfaction of a job well done. Then tear it all apart and start over! LOL

It took me a while to learn this. My friends and family gave me grief because I would build a car and shortly after finishing, I would sell it or tear it apart and start over. It took me a while to realize that I enjoy building more than I do driving. But, I think I need to finish this one and leave it alone and start on a second. It's not fun watching all the power tour cars drive by while mine is sitting in the garage.

7 years on and off mainly due to project creep and acquiring the needed funds. Original budget was 10k and that was surpassed many times over. Car was 'finished' in 2011. Each year there after I have have done something else to improve/ upgrade the car.

I have been on my 69 Camaro for about 7 years hope to have done this summer. Then go back to 69 vette I tore apart in 94. I am sure it will go right back together after 20 years. I have done all the body, mechanical and electrical myself. knew some learned lots.. I don't see this hobby fading away until I can't walk to the shop or get under a car.
