Motivation

[PRRC]

Make a plan, Have a short list of to do items on a weekly/monthly basis. Check them off as you go. Don't stray from you original plan and don't jump ahead of the game and buy items you won't need until later down the road. money for such items may take away from keeping the project moving along.

Honestly..... Just have fun doing it.

One day at a time -- one "fix" at a time...

Most people cut up the whole car -- and then it sits....

Make a list of to dos - organized by area - and what's IMPORTANT - then just do one job at a time - don't tear something up without having first "fixed" the last job you did.

Don't try to get your head around the entire project.

Start a car club. Where you and like minded individuals swap tools and skills. One member is good with welding, the other is good with engines. BEfore you know it, everyone's car is moving along nicely and better than any one member could have done on their own.

Put everything into one shared shop if at all possible. The memories will be worth more than the cars. For sure.

I wish I would have asked that before I started on my car. I bought a 69 camaro and drove it for a week before. After the week I tore it down to the body and it sat that way until I sold it. I wish I was given their advice before I started. Now I'm looking for another car to start over again.
