Default Does this ever happen to you???

This seem to happen to me all the time. I get one project finished and start planing the next then something out of the blue breaks and I have to plan for the unexpected project instead. By the time I get it done the original project goes on hold because I just want to drive my car by then. Perfect example is my last planned project and the one I ended up doing.

Planned: Muncie 4 speed rebuild :smash:
Executed: Total front end rebuild including steering components. :smash:

I hear that! When I got into the motor swap everything started up. Why not do exhaust, paint, motor, trans, fire exinguisher, etc.. I think next I want to do the vacuum lines on the car, and who knows what that will lead to.

Certainly...
This year I just wanted to fix my tach, but since I'm in there lets do tunes, since the dash is apart, lets re wire, etc etc. So far I have etetera'd (?) myself to the tune of about 2,500 bucks :crazy:

All the F'n time!!! Motor rebuild turned into frame, trans, rear end, front suspension, rear suspension and exhaust upgrade/rebuild. It's fun.

:yesnod: Planned for this summer was the resto of my '70 Roadrunner. I think the Vette got jealous because she decided to spin a rod bearing. Now the vette gets a ZZ4 and the Plymouth gets to collect some more dust. Bad Vette :smash:

I'm with you dude, although it doesn't always happen. I've been trying to fix my window tinting for about 7 months now. Other tings keep comming up. Paint? hah, that's been put off until next year.

It's an evil spirit that constantly makes these things happen in order for us to fix the vette :D
