Shaun, just like everyone has said one step at a time. I can't tell you how many deadlines I have missed in the last five years on my car. I have had it sign up for two car shows that I have never made it to. Focus on one system at a time, like getting the engine working, or suspension. Finish it and then move onto the next small project you want to work on. If you look at the whole project all at once you will never finish the car because the project will be to over whelming.

yeah so what i did was stopped worrying about the car and figured my new date will be summer of 2013. i am working on one section at a time so i said lets work on something simple so i took my attention to the trunk. new harness installed new gas tank in. next week bumper brackets (once i figure out what bumper i have with the car.) put that on then get the sending unit in place. then i can run the fuel lines from the back to the front. once i do that i will see where i am and how i feel but i want the back to be done so when i open my garage door it will look more like a car ready for the road then seeing seats on the floor behind the chevelle..lol

Well, you're farther along on your car than I am on mine. I decided to do all the rust repair on mine first. Then I'll do all the mud work. Then I'll do the primer and blocking. Then I'll lay some color down. In between the big projects, I do some little detail work like my valve covers. It keeps progress moving forward but gives me a chance to regain my sanity.
