One of my friends is a local guy who recently purchased a bunch of new upgrade components for a 1970 road runner hes rebuilding, I went over to his home yesterday and hes got stacks of un-opened boxes from several vendors like SUMMIT RACING,and NAPA , I asked him why he was not working on the car and his reply was all too familiar, "its a hell of a lot more fun to have a couple buddies over and have them both helping and keeping you interested and preventing you from making stupid mistakes and pointing out any parts you might have forgotten about or procedures you may need help with, so I.m simply waiting on a weekend when I can arrange to get a few friends over to help and B.S. about cars as it makes it far more enjoyable!"
you know I feel the same way, and I have to force my self at times to get off my dead ass and get started on many of my own projects, it always seems to go smoother with a couple at least semi skilled or at least enthusiastic guys willing to help out , even when they provide only 80% -90%enthusiasm and 10%-20% skill, so I guess that's a more common issue than many of us care to admit!
how many of you gentlemen find it rather difficult to get started on or continue projects without some local help or at least occasional encouragement as incentive!
how many guys have a few local friends who they regularly go over and help? or guys they can get to come over and help them?
yeah its unfortunately a fact that this hobby is a FINANCIAL, BOTTOMLESS pit ,
for parts and tools required, and every time without fail, if you even begin to think
that you have something working correctly , something either breaks ,
on your car or expensive tools, or you see some vastly better,
stronger or more tech advanced component advertised,
or you find out you could do some job far faster ,
and to much improved specs if you purchased some tools you don,t yet own.
