    Knowing that after paint the next big step is Final ***embly has always been my drive that keeps me going.

    Had my project together and apart so many times, I lost track, but every time I had to pull it apart to put it back together, was discouraging. Hang in there, if you're getting ready for paint, you're getting close!

    On the bright side.... at least you'll know everything fits and it should go back together quickly.

    the paint has to be the motivation
     
  11. man id be happy just to get to the point where i hear it run, or get to drive it in primer first, if i was at the stage where i could tear it back down to paint, and i didnt have to sell it unfinished because i was super broke and eating dog food for dinner, id feel like a millionaire.
     
  12. You will get over it the closer you get! And think positive, FINAL ***EMBLY!!!!!!!!!!! You will be so jazzed putting it together that you will forget today ever happened!
