Short rant, real short cause I don't wanna give too much away, but I still gotta blow some steam off.

So I've been collecting parts now for a month or so, and the excitement of placing orders and getting boxes has me all riled up. Today was the day that EVERYTHING was supposed to come together, but it started unraveling early. Ends up nothing got done, I'm super depressed and hoping I can get some people to help over spring break.

Ok, I'm done.

Eh it's not too bad. While it does suck it's just something you can come to expect when working with cars. There has been very few builds that I've done that came together on time and on budget. It's really a miracle when that happens. Keep your head up man it'll all work out.

Things hardly go as I planned when I am working on my car. I don't know why, but that how it goes every time and I got used to it already. Be patient and you will be happy at the end.

The way I look at it is; if I plan on things going wrong unexpectedly, then nothing is unexpected and is going according to plan.

I must ask. What is it? Parts won't fit? Bad quality parts? Found old parts on the car gone bad in the middle of installtion?

I feel for ya brother... happens at work everyday. lol. If I was closer I'd offer a hand. What happened to help the day go down the drain? Maybe it's something that has happened to us or might happen and we can avoid it.

It'll get better for you, just keep your chin up.

Two big things. 1) I don't trust random tire shops with my stretches, so I'm waiting for one of my guys to quit being an a** hat and actually go to work when he supposed to. and 2) I am no confident enough to cut my own 1/4 panels for my wide body, so I am waiting for an experienced friend to have a night when we can attack that. But there are random issues with my new body kit that i need to resolve as well.

Haha, yeah I've had those days for sure. You just need to step back, eat something, and regroup. I can't wait to move to florida soon and work on my car year around.
