Finally getting an early A-Body

I don't miss stock car racing one bit,having to fix stuff on a weekly basis and not having time to enjoy other thing's in life and not having time to play with my lil' a bodies,having to plan weekends around racing had gotten to the point of no fun.this is much better being able to do projects as I gather parts and being able to do stuff with the family on the weekends,It is taking some getting used to but the roses smell pretty good when you take the time for them.I miss the old day's of fixing the cars up as I drove them but I do like the results of sticking with one project at a time just 50 or 60 lil' project's is more like it but each one get's it's turn,keep up the good work you guy's that lil' car will be sweet in no time flat,and hopefully you guy's are enjoying what your doin with em!!!

Patience Grasshopper! :clock:

:-D I used to be the same as you when I was younger. I always had to have a vehicle ready for....... (insert appropriate deadline). After doing this for way too many years, I realized that my blood pressure, patience level, and frustration level were all maxed out to the Nth degree. Not good at all. And the closer I got to my self-imposed deadline, the more things I screwed up or broke, and the more 9/16" wrenches that went flying off into the night, never to be seen again. Then AFTER I'd met my deadline, I usually had to go back and re-do the things I'd hurried through and not gotten just right the first time.
Now I work on my car when I have the time and inclination, and I don't have a set deadline to have it finished. Much more relaxing and enjoyable work than before. Plus I get to spend a lot more relaxed time with the wife......she has a much nicer tailpipe than the Vart. :toothy10:
