I've only been working on my 70 GMC for about 8 months and I've hit some of the road blocks. I was really excited about working on it at first, and I worked on it as much as I knew how as often as a I could, but since I was in the 7th. grade, I didn't have much time. As the school year came to a close I lost some of my motivation and it really went down hill this summer when I had no money and had completed everything that I knew how. within the last month of summer I did more research and everything started clicking, so last week I got the courage up to pull the engine and get it rebuilt after I had the funds. Now I am just ticked that it's going to take a whole week at the machinist shop. Accomplishing something has been what motivates me. When I got the front clip off for engine removal I was really down on motivation, but I was then chomping at the bit to get the engine out and I finally did. I've also kept a small journal, but not much affect for me. Getting support from people around me is the next biggest motivator for me. I'm working with an older dude who has done at least 100 restorations and knows what he's doing, and as far as the people that expect it to be done in a day, I'm just blunt with them, and the back off. God bless.
