Something wrong with my Dakota
Man you're DEFINITELY gonna have to do a detailed build thread when you start! I have a 75 Duster body sitting at dads that would be perfect to do this to.
There will definitely be a build thread when I get to the Barracuda project. These days, my problem is finding time. Too much work (as in work-work, not project-work), not enough cash and not enough time. It only took me 3 years to find the time to put a few parts on and fire up the Dakota, the engine swap was done 3 years ago!
I blew the clutch out of my '92 Supercharged D50 (uprooting a Red Oak), back in December. I've been driving the '84 D50 Dumptruck because I can't seem to find 3 hours to yank the transmission and put a new clutch in (and I have the a new Stage 2 Clutch for it sitting on the shelf)
EDIT : It's not actually that extreme (Okay, it did take me 3 years to fire up the Dakota, and my Supercharged D50 does still need a clutch). I need to learn to stop overloading myself.
When I say Overload, I mean Overload!. I work 2 Jobs and paint cars at night and work side jobs at night. For a while I was juggling a Restoration on a Bronco for a friend, while building a 383 Stroker for a Camaro for another friend, while working two jobs, and scheduling more after hours jobs. I would get up at 5am, brew some coffee and go to work, get off work and take a shower, go to work, get off work and come home and work on the Bronco and Camaro until 2am, make a sandwich and take a power nap...get up at 5am and start the day all over again...for 6 months without a break.
My coworkers would say how tired they were after a shift (and I would look at them like they were crazy), and couldn't figure out why I looked like I was worn out. They thought I was joking when I said I was putting in 20 hour days...till a few of them showed up to help me put my '84 D50 back together the night before Christmas Eve. They're all sleeping on chairs in the garage by 2am and I was still going strong, pounding coffee and swinging a paint gun (after we swapped beds, swapped doors and did some fast body work)
