Default going crazy

I'm working on my 82c/e,trying to get the engine cleaned out,
vacuum lines replaced,ect, ect, ect. and I have a 79 that needs tlc.
I read all the posts where major work is being on your vettes
and I feel I have to keep up, I'm envious that you seem to get
more done, please don't take that wrong, it's a compliment
any other members feel like this? :crazy:

You know "money rules the world?"
Focus on your own projects, get them done right and I´m sure all the other members of this forum will appreciate your work.
There´s always somebody else who has more money to spend in his vette than you have, but this is not the important thing.
Restoring a vette means putting $ into it.
Of course I´m a little envious if I read that somebody bought a new merlin block and all the goodies :D
If you´re restoring your vette or at least working on it you´re on the right way:yesnod:

Are you kidding? I'm lucky if I get thirty minutes a week to work on two driver/toys. Not to mention my wife's GS-R. Needless to say, I'm not getting much done, I'm waaaay behind, and I hate it. :sad: Focus is a real problem. I have to keep writing down the current three priority problems (never mind mods), or I go off on a tangent and get nothing at all done. But I love reading about what can be done with enough time and money, it gives me hope :)

Well I can see that with 44 post you need to spend more time with your vette's, and less time posting on this forum :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Are you talking about me???
Hell I replaced the frame and all the bushings and did a lot of stuff I can`t even remember. But yeah I have to agree If you have the time you can get a lot done. I work 4 day`s on 4 day`s off. :D
I hope to have the car on the road completed by the end of the second week in Feb. Check out my web page and see what can get done if you have the time. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
