The prospect of doing without for another summer is stressing me out. This is supposed to be fun.
I finished my GTX almost 20 years ago, I suppose I had more energy and ambition back then...

Very nice work on the truck! GTX looks sweet too.
Many of us have been there...do I work on the project or take this Saturday to go to a car show or cruise in? Getting burned out and keeping going. I’ve tried to do a balance (some summer cruise ins or shows, winter project building with no time pressure) and then I enjoy the project build more. Of course the build goes more slowly.
Then I’ve also set a goal to make a specific show or event, which helps keep me motivated, then burn the candle at both ends to make it. That has worked for me on several projects. To make it, I selectively hire help or farm out some work. That feels more like work and project management to me, though like I mentioned, it has worked to get one “done”.
Enjoying your work and continuing to tag along!
