Glad to hear your going to be getting some stuff done.....that makes one of us HAHA.
tough call on your dilemma ......but family time is always a good thing and buggy isnt going to disappear just because you can't work on it right away right?
OR maybe you could skip the nats this year and still take the family to do something fun and "get away from it all" that may cost you a little less? that way you get the best of both worlds and can put a little into the project and stilll have a good time with your family.
I know one thing....I spend to much time thinking about getting my duster done and thinking about how broke I am and wishing I could get the duster done that I get myself down in the dumps ......and I always take breaks to spend time with my family and try to keep that stuff off my mind.
so it may take me a year or so longer to finish the project than I originally planned......but oh well, I will get it done eventually.
I can't WAIT to get it done!!!!.....first it started as I could not wait to get it done so I could drive it but that shifted to not being able to wait to get it done just so I can be done with the hole restore process and start actually enjoying the car.....alot of people don't realize not only how financially draining one of these projects are but its also an emotional drain and very time consuming.
anyhow, sorry for the big write up....Ill be keeping tabs on your thread to see what you end up doing.
