Need help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well lately I've been getting a little tiered while working on britney. I've cut the last 2 weekend into half the time I normally spend on her. So I'm asking what do you guys do to kinda cool down and get back up to normal speed.

Body work will do that to ya, I find the best thing to do is to just get it all out of the way asap. When I absolutely cant stand to do any body work I work on little things that need to get done like cleaning the guage cluster, sort bolts etc, that way I am at least getting something done truckwise.

I get re-motivated by coming on the board and looking at other members blazers.......makes me want to get out there and get mine finished.

Same here as Teamharvey. Although once or twice it has had the opposite effect and depressed me because you guys get sooooooo much done compared to me. My motto, slow and steady!

Remember that it is a hobby not a job. You work at it only when you feel like it. Enjoy it and feel the comfort.

I'm like LUV, if I was getting paid by the hour I couldn't afford to hire me!

At least I can drive the blazer while I work on the jimmy, that keeps me on track with the jimmy and if I forget where something goes or how it should look I just look at the blazer.

I keep up with your progress (as well as everyone else's) so you can always think about how much your progress affects the rest of us.

You know it's kinda weird but when I saw N2TRUX 77 chevy in the Classic Trucks magazine you would of thought it was MY truck... I was like Hey! I know that guy! Everyone at work thought I was nutz because I was so excited about it, but that's how I felt and I was proud for him, as I will be proud for you when you get Britney done.

Good luck and if it get's too bad take two dos xx (is that redundant?)and get back to work! Rg

PS FRENCH, I got both of those pics on my hard drive, they are both very inspiring to me! Here's another one I LOVE...
