Wow busy guy! Look at all that knowledge you got from working on the car. Your branching out! Nice.

Maybe I need to make a road trip thru the interior this summer and stop in up there to "check in" on the progress, and maybe provide some inspiration...!

Hey guys remember me. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures to update. Since my last update, life, work and finances have gotten in the way of me doing much on the car. Also have been working on the wife's Bronco and have the body back on it and hope to have it running by summer time. One of the big reasons I didn't get much done on my car is I got to a point where I was stuck and didn't know what to do next or how to do it. I usually don't like to ask for help and wanted to try and do as much of the car by myself as I could. Well life isn't getting in the way as much anymore, finances are better and I'm at a point where I want to get back to work on the car.

I got off the phone a short while ago with a guy who is interested in doing some work on my car for me. I'm likely going to get him to finish up the trunk work, get all the panels hung to make it look like a car again and maybe a few other custom things that I want done. I've seen some of the work this guy has done and it is very nice. He also does this as a side job as his main job is he owns a towing company. Makes it even easier to get the car to his shop lol. We will be getting together in the next week or two so he can look over the car and make a plan as to what I want done and when to take it to his shop. I may even get him to paint it when it's ready. I can actually say I'm getting excited again

Don't give up, Mike. It's worth finishing even if it takes longer than originally planned. Good luck!

Thanks Trey. I can honestly say that I thought about giving up a few times over the last couple years. But now am very excited about getting it going again. Definitely going to set some small goals and tackle each one before the next.

Mike don't give up bro. I feel your pain and know first hand what your going through. I fought for 10 years but finally enjoyed it last summer and it was awesome. It will be worth it. Hang in there

As others, I feel your pain bro and I too, have felt the same about giving up. I took a break as well from my car. I spent money in other places like on guns and stuff. Just got a bit tired of my car, but I'm getting back on mine too.
