Default Project Car Blues...

I had been considering selling my project, but can't seem to part with it. Problem is I have too many parts in the garage, and not enough on the car...

I've got 15" Centerlines for the car, and need to get some tires mounted on them. I think seeing that would keep me interested in saving the project instead of ditching it Also, I've got front/rear bumpers that need installed, interior that needs finished gutting, wiring that needs to be done, etc... You guys know how that shit goes...

I'd be willing to pay someone for the help - I just haven't had the time to do it. I'm working three jobs right now, trying to do some entreprenual stuff... And can't seem to find the time to work on the ole gal

And sadly enough, even with all the work I'm doing, I'm not making enough money to be nikka rich like Uncle Pat!! In time these things will pay off, but man times are tough... I just wanna get my girl on the road, just to drive it again would be awesome. I don't even care if it's fast, or anything, for now... I know I gotta ditch the motor that's in it, and start over... But it would at least get me up and down the road a piece!
