    AD Suicide Hotline to the rescue!

    I know you're joking. But still, that's a cruel thing to say about that beautiful blue truck that you've obviously put a lot of time and money into. Take a deep breath and walk away from it for awhile. Clear your head, take up underwater basket-weaving for a couple weeks.

    Is there one particular problem you're having? Tell us about it. That's why we're here. I'll bet you that at least one of us have had the same problem or frustration and have overcome it!

    Been there many times. That is the best time to back off, spend alittle time doing something else..Roughly 90% of these old trucks never get finished. Be in the top 10%.

    Where to start

    Thank You gentlemen, I am having issues with part suppliers. I have tried to get a power steering pump 3 times now and still it cannot fit. Brand new power brakes canister and master cylinder are not working. Working on fuel pump # 3 and just finished with drive line #2. This project needs to be in running and stopping condition in 3 weeks as we are moving, and I will be on the road the first 2 weeks in April. That leaves me 11 days to finish, now I'm really depressed. Also if you want more pictures there are flames on it now. Just let me know.

    Probably he got frustrated at looking at the Boopster's awesome ride and then looking at his own project. I know I did.:(

    You don't HAVE to have it running!

    Tow it to the new place. Then take your time and enjoy it! Self imposed deadlines are counter-productive, cause you to do stuff that you wouldn't normally do. And yes, we want to see more pictures of the truck (as long as the flames are painted on and not real:eek: )

    Hang tough, it will be worth it in the end!
