    How long can you procrastinate?

     



    Well, I started on the 57 Plymouth, it's now in the shop with the old engine and tranny out and I'm getting ready to start on the suspension. I set a personal best for procrastination on this one. Other than moving it once and collecting parts I had done nothing with it in the 12 years since I bought it. This got me wondering, how long have some of the rest of you sat on a project before you got started on it?

    One must take the time to think about the project ahead! I was going to go to procrastinaters anonymous but I can always get that done tomorrow.

    Procrastinate?? Me?? I would rather refer to it as long range planning. Must be a coincidence, my '72 Ford pickup that I started on 12 years ago is back in the shop now. Time flies when you're having fun!!

    I don't know yet!
