Question i'm burned out anyone else going through the same problem?

so i bought a 69 gmc back in august and i've slowly been fixing everything on it so i can make it my daily driver. i'm getting really really close but i'm burned out. i am finding it really hard to keep my self focused and now is when i need it most. anyway i'm hoping some of you might have some ideas on how i can refocus to get this thing done.


here's a list of everything i've done so far to get this truck driveable.

  1. installed disk brakes by converting not swaping,
  2. power steering,
  3. master cylinder,
  4. booster,
  5. new brake lines to the frame,
  6. rebuilt and installed a auto column,
  7. removed 3 speed and all componets,
  8. new 700r4 trans,
  9. made a trans crossmember,
  10. new radiator,
  11. ran trans cooler lines along frame,
  12. new engine built by my dad and i,
  13. new intake,
  14. new carb,
  15. rebuilt the rear with new bearrings,
  16. converted to 5 lug,
  17. new rear drums,
  18. POR15'd bottom of cab and most of frame,
  19. rebuilt the wiring harness,
  20. converted from idiot light dash to guage dash,
  21. installed an internally regulated altanator,
  22. fixed rear light harness,
  23. cleaned out cowl,
  24. installed wire mesh over cowl,
  25. powerwashed everything like 5 times now,
  26. and i'm sure i've forgotten something.

keep in mind everything minus the booster is brand new.

here's what's left
  1. duel exhaust
  2. kick down cable bracket
  3. fix side markers
  4. have trans adjusted
  5. front end alignment
  6. replace valve covers center bolt style mine are rusted
  7. plug wire spacers/mounts
  8. install a radio

it's not much really but i'm going crazy

thoughts?
