(Sigh) I wish man, I wish. I'm really wearing down on this project. Getting emotionally drained. Friday I got off work at my office at 4:30, went and coached my son's football practice 6:00-8:00, then went to the Bro-N-Laws garage till 3:00 AM. Saturday I went to the garage at 2:00 PM and finished at 2:00 AM. Sunday I got to the garage at 2:00 PM and quit at midnight which put me home at 1:00 AM. Back at my office at 7:30 AM this morning only to start all over again; Football, Garage, Work, Football, Garage. I'm loosing the excitement of the project and just wanting to get in this thing and drive. More of stress wanting to get done within the next few days to made certain time frames. In primer by this Saturday, and completely done with all custom paint and everything by September 8th. Really getting nervous that we are not going to make it.

Keep it up man, I know that I have been drained as well when my yj would just keep throwing parts left and right, you get tired of it real quick. Im not just talking a thing here and there, before I could even get one thing fixed another broke. My yj (when I had it) was down for a while doing a carb swap, before I even got it back together the radiator gave out. You have gone to far to give up now, maybe take a break for a day or two and clear your head. Once your wheelin all the time you put into it will pay off.

Don't know if you saw "my new project" in the other vehicles forum.
Converting a Wrongler tub to a CJ and doing a bunch of repair on the Wrongler tub.
Trying to get a buddy of mines '78 CJ back on the road.

So waht I am saying is, I feel your pain.

It seems like a have been making patch panes for all the rust repair forever.
I cannot wait to start welding and painting.

Nitro out.

PS: If you are going to make Indy, I may even drive down to see the Griffon.
