I have an addiction

[blkcorvair]

I think I have a problem, My wife has been saying this for a while but I do believe that I have been in denial. I actually cannot stop working on my car. I stay in the garage til 10 pm every night (Any later and I may be facing divorce) I sneak away from work or rumage threw my shop looking for odds and ends that will speedy my assembly. I am dreaming of it now. Even awake! I may need proffesional help, than again maybe I should work double time to get this done faster! Whoa, I think I should just start by heading off to bed. Here's tonights pics. By the way if anyone has some good cooling system knowledge, please go check out my post in the spridget forum, I could use a pointer or two hooking up my expan. tank.

That's looking fantastic!!! When your car is done and you're having withdrawls, you are welcome to stay at my house and work in the garage all you like.

Welcome to the club!

I could do this stuff 24/7 if I could do without sleep and normal human interaction.
The main reason that I am looking forward to retirement is not so I can "relax"....it's so I can do this stuff <u>more</u>.

Your car is looking great!

I am itching to start the wiring. Cant wait for this 4 day weekend. Im building my own harness. Which I dont expect to be too bad. (Did one for my street car this spring) But I plan to hide all the wiring best I can and make this all look as clean as possible. I am feeling highly pressed now as my wife is now expecting our first baby in July. Good thing I started my toy first or this may never have gotten this far.

How you gonna separate the fuel cell & pump from the driver?

Thats actually a filter there. Making aluminum panels, Just figure it's best to arrange all my lines & wiring before I close anything up. May even start to fab the dash panels this weekend, Who Knows! everyday is a new adventure. I like to complete a-z by March.

That the one thing about a race car,there are no withdrawals symtoms when you're done, because you never done /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif You see guys restoring a street car, they finish one, and six months later thay bought a another project car, because they love piddling with cars so much. So with a race car, they are never done, and when you start racing them, there is always something to repair or make better. I told a guy wanting to go vintage racing one time, who was basicly living in la~la land, when it came to his expectations of going racing " you'll probably never go to a race weekend where something doesn't need repairing or tweaking on, it's the nature of race car, so for folks who don't ever want to be done with the project, a race car is the perfect choice. The other thing I like about building a race car over a street car restoration is you get to be more creative, you not just putting it back as it was, you are making it your way.

Scott, Where you're at right now with your car is the best part of build. I've built about a dozen or so race cars in my life, and there is nothing in the world like bolting new shiny parts on a freshly painted chassis, enjoy!!!!! Think of it like this way, this part makes up for all that nasty stuff you did in the beginning of the build, you know, the stuff, the stuff where you didn't want to share photos with the forum just yet, this phase of the build is your reward for all that hard work. Tell your wife, you're not out drinking or chasing women, maybe then she'll appreciate your project a bit more then. My wife always tells her girlfriends, "well he could be doing alot worse things".
