Re: The I am sick of working on my truck thread

I'm about 6 weekends from really wanting my truck for goodguys columbus. When we painted the cab, there was an area where we didn't get paint (near the back window gasket) but didn't see it because it was dark in the garage. We cleared over it but i always had it on the to do list to scuff it and paint/clear it, and sand the whole area and buff to kind of blend it in. Fast forward, glass guy is coming tomorrow to make a custom rear window (long story) and i figure i better get it done.

Once that's in, the bed is ready to go together with all new shiny parts (didn't want bed on while doing glass, and had other work to occupy me.) Well, i get it done, take the masking foam off....and i missed some and have to redo. Took the wind out of my sails for the night, knowing i'll have to redo that spot AGAIN. It's a small thing this far, after a year and a half straight and tons of money and effort, and great results. But, i closed down, didn't finish sanding and buffing the tailgate (which is my last panel to sand and buff, and would have taken an hour, you'd think i'd get it done.)

I am ALMOST there, but i find myself dragging..hopefully across the finish line in time! Everyrthing has fallen in place: weather, motor done, glass guy ready, money available to buy the last of my parts, but i can't seem to keep motivated.

Oh well, tomorrow is another day, i can fix that part in an hour or so i missed today. But damnit.
