I think you might be the only one actually working on a project right now... many (including a couple of mine) are keeping dust off the floor and jackstands in the garages.

It's moving along pretty well compared to a lot of projects, but I've never undertaken anything like this so it feels like it's taken forever. I understand now how people lose interest in projects or at the very least lose motivation to work on them. Mine has been on jack stands for 3 1/2 weeks, and for a while there I just didn't want to screw with it anymore. If it weren't for you and a couple other friends, I'd have probably just given up and paid someone...or thrown in the towel completely and sold the parts.

If anybody wants to cone finish welding this frame I've built I'd appreciate it. 14-16 hour workdays leave me little desire to weld anything at home.

It's the very reason I sold the turbo mustang stuff and bought a running driving car to enjoy... and even that damn thing has been on jackstands for weeks or months at a time lately.

Well, my "racecar" is finally off the jackstands. Took it for a test drive, and it has NO brakes. Hopefully I just didn't get them bled as well as I thought I did...
