i lost all motivation too but ive got it back from spending a day at carlisle and dropping 1k on a crap load of parts. it really helped to find that i could buy so much for that and on top of that getting to see and hear all the mopars running around was refreshing. GO TO A CAR SHOW!!

No, I bought a new AMD hood so the unit has to stay under the hood.

The photoshop pic of the completed car should be a great motivator, that's gonna look awesome!  :2thumbs:
That, and your little girl behind the wheel.  :yesnod:
Print those out & hang 'em on your fridge, in the garage, wherever.

Try to separate what you want to accomplish into little, simple tasks. Tackle one thing at a time & before long you'll see you've got a lot done. Make a list or checksheet.

If that fails, just get off your ass already & get to work!  :nana:  :icon_smile_wink:  :2thumbs:
Thanks.. That's the vision, allthough I'm moving away from the wheels in the pic..  :cheers:
That's my oldest daughter, she just turned 4 the other day..  :2thumbs:

usually when i want to get motivated i go to a car show or pop in "dirty mary crazy larry" it gets me going every time. guess its time to watch it again. :smilielol: i bought a new gas tank and new carb at monster mopar in june and they are still waiting to go on the car. :rotz:
I get the same watching the DOH movie.. I know they smashed some Chargers, but the action driving scenes just speak to me..  ;)

Sell it and buy a nice used late model Challenger.  Trust me, you'll be glad that you did.  :yesnod:
There's just no way that is going to happen.. I love my Charger, and I can't see it sold for any other car..

well, i got mine out over the weekend. went to the mustang and all ford show with the grand son. he had a blast. then it was home and work on the charger,plus help the kid put a clutch in his 88 mustang. the new carb is on. washed the car. it was a productive weekend. and the 13 year old grand son was right there helping with the clutch swap and working on the charger. he was so excited. :2thumbs:

Hey..
I'm not sure if I'm looking for a pat on the back or a swift kick in the nuts..  :brickwall: :nana: Hehe..
I need both... haven't touched it for over a month. If my car would be as close to be finished as yours I'd be working on it every chance I had to get it road worthy and then spray it with a can until I would have the funds to do it right.

:o
Damn, I feel lucky now.. I have the outmost respect for your project..  :2thumbs:

I hear you, but we don't have that many carshows and only on the weekends, and since I work a lot during the weekend, it's often hard to find the time.. I will see if I can't make it out to some of the next ones..
