History When do you call it done?

Or lowered expectations...
Im not talking GNRS or
Mirrored under the lights
Perfect magazine cover car.
Just satisfied with a homebuilt car that your proud of.
All those little details no one else will notice, things you wish or could do...or afford

 

Line 2,3&4 are finished. Line 5&6 are unfinished.
For me......It's always a work in progress !
There is always something to change or fix.

 

I just finished a mates mega dollar resto and his overwhelming response was "well??? what do i do now?.

 

It's done the day I die or...........the day it's sold.

 

When it's registered and I'm driving it, it's time to start building build another project however there will always be minor things to sort out on the driver.

 

Now that's the story of my life!

 

When you get back from a long drive, and can't think of anything else to fix.

 

You're not completely done with a car until you've signed off the ***le and it's going to it's new home.

 

When the next thing you add starts to take away from the perfect look.

We have all see cars that are overdone and start to become a clown car.

I am losing interest in a car I have because I have reached that point, no more to do to it.

 

plus, what REBEL57 said about over done cars that have the clown car look. total perfection is overrated.

 

When it is sold, crushed, or totaled.

 

Never!

 

It is never done but once it is on the road and safe to drive enjoy it. Perfection often results in you not enjoying it -- but I guarantee the guy after you will and he will have no idea the blood, sweat, and tears you spilled and probably wouldn't care anyway.
I have had several super paint killer cars and disliked them all because I was scared to death of using them and possibly damaging them.
Go out and get some rock chips and have fun doing it!

 

They are never done if you drive and enjoy them!

 

I was thinking the exact same thing. HRP

 

I usually start driving them before they are done, then I hate myself for not finishing them, because I'm driving them all the time. It's kinda like a cat chasing its tail, it's just not right!

 

This one was done in 1963.

 

Parts car!

 

When it runs it's done!

 

Done? You mean "finished"? I don't even think about it. I just think about making it better.

 

What squirrel said. After that long trip and all you have to do when you get back is take the suitcases out.

 

I've never gotten to the point of being done with a project car...there is always something. The hard question for me has always been when is it far enough along to put on the road for more than quick test drives, and present it to the public.

 

After you've painted the casting numbers on the trans. and diff. in contrasting colors you've pretty much finished it.

 

Well, than I guess everything I own is done!

 

You mean like finished?

 

Not until I sell it or croak. Til then, it ain't done!!!!

 

I considered my last rod, a 5w coupe finished the day I sold it.

 

When I'm perusing the chrome doodads isle at Napa instead of standing at the parts counter.

 

Nuff said,well said

 

when the cheese around the edges starts bubbling and turns brown. usually 17 minutes.
