Whenever I begin to regret building a car I sell it. Life's too short!

I'm starting to feel that way with my 70 Z28 project. It a 5 year endeavor and doesn't look like its gaining any steam. The body has been on a rotisserie in my friends body shop for the last two years. The engine has been at my engine builder in South Carolina for the last 5 years. I'm frustrated.

Never regreted building any of them,I love building cars but at a point in life where business,family and kids have taken over. It doesn't help when you work on cars for a living either. I find it hard to just keep up and maintain the cars i've done. I have one car that's been on the back burner for 25 years. So hopefully down the road when i retire i can get back to doing projects,for now its going to be buy cars already done and enjoy the ones i have. Tig

I refuse to acknowledge my stupidity in public. So the answer is an unqualified YES! Leave it at that.

I ended up selling the cars I regretted building. Wanted them out of sight and out of mind, and yes being impatient on the sell side cost me money. I tell my self it is a hobby not a business. Glad to hear others comfort themselves with the same song and dance!

When you build a car knowing that the end result will be to sell to fund other things and you become attached to said car; then yes, you regret building it. But that is the nature of the beast. But Project Bull Fighter will be coming soon..

It always cracks me up when family/friends/etc. ask >> "when well it be done?" My response is always the same >> "when its done, its done -- not a second sooner". I learned many moons ago not to put a time schedule on some of these "projects" ... TAZ
