Have spent the last 3 Sundays working on my old Nova. After a couple of attempts, which included cutting everything back out and replacing the 2x3 crossmember with a new one. After 20 years, this car is setting on the ground, capable of being moved once again. At present, everything is only tack welded but this is such a relief.
Due to many different circumstances that have stalled my ability to work much on the car this fall, this is a victory. Still a monumental amount of work to be done. I'm many steps closer than when this idea was hatched.
Hey Robert, Just do it, i'm almost 70 in 3 mos. Just get your ugly ass out there and keep on working on it. It will make both of us happy. If you quit or slow down only you will feel bad and unfortunately no one in the family will give a sh*t, they will say well he's tired so he'll never finish it. Trust me i've been there. I've been told i was crazy, i've been told i couldn't do it, i've been told i'm too old to race and i should just sell my sh*t and put the money in the bank. But these were statements form the people who may inherit my losses. Just do it and frig those people who say you can't don't evet give up. Crap i've got 3 progects going and may never finish any of them, but i'll never give up to the family who says i'm old and out of touch with reality and should just cash in.
I can tell you i still hold a NHRA compitation lics. and will never give it up until the day i die or NHRA takes it away from me.
So Just do it
