47-55.1 Why Does Everything Take So Long

[Driver_WT]

I am getting a little discouraged with my 53 Chevy truck project after 3 years. The engine has been rebuilt, transmission upgraded, suspension is done, frame cleaned and painted, body work and painting completed. But the final (smaller) tasks seem to be taking forever (interior, door glass, channels and weather stripping, finishing up the wiring, bed wood, etc.).

We are taking our time and working to the best of our abilities (this is our first major project) although I have been working on cars for more than 40 years. But man the small stuff is killing me. Every little job seems to take half a day or more.

Any advice?

Thanks.
