Default Had moment...

You know it is soo easy to get caught up in te I need to get this or that done, get down on youself or just say why...

Then there comes a moment, like I had today.

I put her wheels on, and rolled her out into the driveway. There she sits, Texes sun hitting her unprimed and no hood self. I just happened to look back as I went into the garage. I had to stop and smile and just enjoy the moment and admire the work I have done soo far..

She is looking good and I am proud. Still a long way to go, but I just stared and enjoyed the moment.

I am sure the neighbors thought I was some sort of idiot, but I dont care.

need moments every now and again, no matter what you are doing...

Always a good feeling when you stand back and see what you have done. Every little step forward, is another step closer.

You should be proud you have came a long way in a somewhat short time without cutting corners.

Your excellent work is starting to pay dividends. Feels really good and makes all the sweat worthwhile doesn't it? Enjoy, and there's more to come.... wait until you back it out of the garage under power for the first time! It can (and does) get better the farther along it gets.
