Default Hows your "Project" going?

Thought this might come in handy:

Official Project Stages:
(1) Uncritical Acceptance.
(2) Wild Enthusiasm
(3) Dejected Disillusionment.
(4) Total Confusion.
(5) Search for the Guilty.
(6) Punishment of the Innocent.
(7) Promotion of the Non-participants.

Interesting. Start a thread about the progress of our/your project and then don't even give anyone the status of YOUR OWN project. Nice.



Well, I have 2 vehicle projects currently:

1955 Ford F100 - It's pretty much all original, drug it out of the weeds locally. Body is in o.k. shape, drivetrain, suspension, steering and brakes are all there and original. I just can't seem to be able to decide EXACTLY what it is I want to do with it. I change my mind almost daily but, I keep coming back to the "Rat Rod" theme. I wanna get the 94' "done" first.

1994 Ford F150 Regular Cab Long Bed - As many of you know, this is my daily driver and occasional drag truck! I've pretty well given it a twice over and only have a few more items to complete before I start on the 55'. Namely:

Valve body and torque converter
Ignition Module (it's been on indefinite back order! UGH!)
Electric Fans
High Flow Wate Pump
New Timing Chain Set

I think once that's done, I'll call it a day on the 94' for now and start working on the 55'.

That's the status of my projects.

(Doesn't include the many home improvement projects, etc..)

where's the option for projects that just keep piling up and the projects list gets longer and longer and none get finished...?

I have a friend that took the approach and names all projects the Official Un-finished Project #**" and we discuss those accordingly...lol and it does take a while but unlike me he actually finishes something once in a while....while I just keep adding more to the list...I mean a guys gotta have goals right?

Well "project completion" isn't on the list. They never really are.

Well, if referring to my slightly inaccurate fuel senders, I'm constantly watching my odometer for my MPG's, so I don't really pay much attention to em anyway! I think I'll have to overcome the biggest reason for a project demise. "Apathy" or "Lazious Meus"! (For those Latin Scholars)

Well, the 91 Mustang is coming along nicely so far. Cylinder head is coming in from Texas, I'll have the short block put back together by Tuesday next week, and yesterday I spent the whole day painting the external engine pieces. Depending upon when the head gets here, I should have the motor completely assembled by the end of next week, and finally the swap from 2.3 NA to 2.3T should take only a couple days.

The 88 Bird, on the other hand, is almost an eternal project. I still needs the new suspension put on, upgraded brakes put on, the 8.8 built and installed, tailpipes installed, and the T5 rebuilt, but right now, it's in running condition, and that's all that's necesarry to keep the project alive.
