Projects Mind of its own.

There are times when I "almost" believe these inanimate cars and the project cars have minds of their own. What do you think?

Example: Working my 34 doors to fit right. This can be a harrowing adventure to say the least. The 80 year old door frame ain't what it was new and these doors have been sagging for along time with out attention.
I get the drivers to look really good and start on the other one. Fight it is. I install all new bolts, beef up the wood with oak and shim time after time. Take the hot wrench to the lower hinge just a bit. Cuss, stammer, ponder, spend the morning and the better part of afternoon, leave the garage and cut the gr***, generally cool off. Go back in with a ,fresh approach, turn on Elvis, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, take a long pull off a Coors, and approach the door. Wow, think about doing just a minor tweak, do it and low and behold it is looking pretty good. Install the new dove tail, and walla, door fixed.
No fight, no cussing, no more frustration and I think this damned 34 was fighting me all the time, knew it would loose in the end, that I'd win and just gave in.

Yep, think it has a mind of its own.

Any of you experience the same? A red Plymouth comes to mind now that I think of it.

 

Stepping away from the garage for a little bit always makes things magically work for me.

 

As soon as I think about getting rid of one, the next thing you know it breaks down.

Like a jealous lover...

 

How can you even ask that question, of course they have a mind of their own. Isn't that what makes us love them?
