anybody on here ever feel overwhelmed with their project

Moparmat,

I sincerely feel your pain! I was out of the car stuff for many years, about 20. Before I bought the Dart I would build the car and engine in my head many, many times. Had mounds of bills, wife with a stroke in 2003 and me with cancer in 2004. Paid out over time about 100K, that was with pretty decent insurance. Had everything paid off and finally got the Dart in 2008, then the economy tanked and our business was suffering. Took a 25% reduction in pay to keep going. Car had no engine at the time and needed all kinds of $$ to do what I wanted. Sure I could do some of it with no money, but at times, many times, no motivation. I would go out in the garage and just look at it, sitting on jack stands and say to my self, "my little car" in a sad tone. My wife would just tell me get out there and work on it. She has lived with my car genes since the first time I took her to prom in 1974 in my 71 Roadrunner. In 2011 things were looking up and was able to start buying the parts I needed. I had a running list of "to do's" and would update almost every 6 hours, knocking off what was accomplished. I had an Excel sheet on my computer at work and would check off the parts needed to completion. In the beginning I would buy, just one wheel, a pair of shocks, the coil, one tire, etc., etc. Just one thing at a time, I would drill into my head, just one thing at a time. Wire the ignition, install one seat, make mount for fuel regulator and on and on. One thing at a time! I am 56 now and so happy that I stuck with it and drove myself to get to this point. I know it is discouraging at times. Hang in there, drive yourself to do what you can, even if it is blasting and painting one part...........and you will get there!!!
