How many times have you changed directions with your project?

[awr68]

2 sets of wheels/tires.
2 sets of headers.
2 intake manifolds.
Engine and rear suspension 'mods' as we speak.

Not too bad considering it's been over 6 years...but I have to admit I've been tempted to change many other things!

Oh, and I've 'settled' on at least a few paint colors...glad that's all behind me!!

Had plans on building my car back to stock specs, untill I stumbled across this site . Almost everyday I learn/see something new from this site that I want to add to my car. But I'm scared to buy parts, in fear that I'm going to see something better the next day

I am on my 3rd engine now, 5.3 vortec for now
3rd transmission-T56
my color changes every week, this week is lemans blue w/ white
I will be swapping wheels once the car is finished.

This site keeps me in constant confusion due to all the cool new parts and awesome designs. I keep telling myself I want to stay partial with the stock look

mine started as a driver until i found out how much rust it had and how much time and money it was going to take to restore. thats when i decided on a street/strip car (sure picked the less expensive route there ). ive been through two sets of wheels, three rearends (the final got a coilover/ladderbar suspension), three carbs, changed heads, completely redone the fuel system, switched from power steering to rack and halfway through decided to go with manual steering box, took out the dash to install an aluminum one... looked like crap.... reinstalled a better dash than i had. now im talking to my machinist about a future TT SBC when the Olds motor spits the crank out.

2 sets of wheels, 2 transmissions, 3 motors, 3 different body shops. Thanks for the reminder......

I started out redoing the whole car because I bought it cheap as a theft recovery, lots of problems with it. I fixed it up mechanically, it was 100% apart from paint. Some mods here and there but really just a nice driver. Then I got rearended and was working on fixing that when I noticed one door hinge had excessive play. Took that door off and noticed a werd spot on the a pillar, decided to investigate and before I knew it the front clip was off completely. Found some nasty damage there, fixed it and wanted to build the car back up again and then something came over me, dunno what it was but I ended up with this (havent worked on it in months, been busy w/ a 77 vette and a 69 mustang 428cj mostly) I'd say I've changed directions a few times. I built 2 complete rear suspension systems for it, first a 5 bar system with additionial upper control rods (to eliminate the halfshafts as geometry components) and later built a double a arm susp.

I thought changing directions all the time and specially the "while I'm at it" were part of any project...

[redfire69]

I never change directions.... no wait... yes I do!!

I also suffer from the "while I'm at it" syndrome... thats why I have the equivalent to a dynacorn 69, except "with some assembly required"....
