I know I have long road in front of me. How many years did it take you to get your Vette the way you always wanted it?
If your not done yet how long, and how much longer?

I'm going on 11 years and I will probably NEVER be satisfied. That's the great thing about cars, there's always something new or better to try around the corner.

Just drive it.... the problems will surface without thinking of projects

This month... rebuild transmission & install shocks... last month it was the carb & distributor ! As someone else says on the forum, It's a work of art in progress Or did I say that? :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

I have been working on my 68 since 1972 and totally restoring it from ground up since August 1995. I think I have maybe two years to go before it is back on the road and finished to my satisfaction. :chevy

It's never done...ya gotta love it. Reminds of the defintion of a boat, which is a hole in the water you pour money into LOL. :D

I had my C5 Convertible 6sp for about 6 months. Great car but it had no character compared to my now 69 roadster. I have now had the car for 7 months. I am shooting to have my frame off resotration completed in a year. Right now I am on track as long as the funds hold out. Oh and I am now a expert on Ebay at selling goodie to pay for my Roadster project LOL.

Four years and well over $20K...still not finished, but VERY happy with what I have so far. Currently have Bilstein shocks ready to go on, redoing rear storage compartment lids, and numerous detail items.
Looking to add MSD billet distributor, aluminum heads, maybe a different exhaust system....
You'll never really be done, but in a year or two you can begin to enjoy it...maybe in a few years...

About 10 years. Non-high-tech income and .com investments. Took me some time. Other priorities took precedence. But I am close. :yesnod:

dogboy

I can't finish.... 3 yrs of repairs and replace and no time for adding the fun stuff. damn......Everytime I think I'm done BAM...

Gordonm

It is never done. I have had it about 6 years now and I always want it faster or find something else to do to it. For the most part it is the way I want it but there is always something around the corner :D

QuickVet

mine will never be done. im to poor :chevy

nastee383

I've had my car for 8 or 9 years but I only really started working on it about 4 years ago. It's pretty much finished except for the little things.

MotorHead

6 years and almost to the point where I'm happy, but not quite..... :D

toyvet1

You mean at some point it will be done? I thought that why we have them so we have a never ending project.

R1234

3 years to this point.

American Boy

It 's been 4 months and 2000$ spent. How long will I hold is the question.
The wish list never seem to end. I guess I am closer to the end today than yesterday. :D

I bought my 71 a little over a year ago. I started the current project in late December and believed it would be done by the end of May. Not even close! :rolleyes: Then I started shooting for Labor Day. Wrong again. Every once in a while, I lose sight of my original dream for the car and it seems more trouble than it's worth. Then I back away for a few days or even weeks, and come back when I'm ready. I gave up on forecasting a completion date, but it'll eventually get done. My advice is to plan better than I did. Take it in steps and try to leave some time in between to enjoy it.
