I always called mine my 10 year project. Well, in 9 years not much had happened, I spent those years doing what you are doing, buying tools, a welder, learning how to weld (even fixed a blender with it). Many other daily drivers later, a 9 year old kid and I am just now getting back on it (
www.dcubetechnologies.com/cuda), but even then only a little here and there. I traded all that time for the enjoyment of my family and have not regretted a single minute. That 'Cuda has been from Oklahoma, to Texas to Maryland and back to Texas with me. My friends get a good laugh over it but it is all worth it. I know have a garage of tools, great compressor, welder and parts. I have made contacts along the way and working on it as I can. Life's been good and it keeps getting better, and my 'Cuda is still not done.
Just don't sell it, I came close and my brother (fellow mopar nut as well) talked me off the ledge, so glad he did.
Hang in there and just do what you can or buy what you can. Some months I could only spend 20 bucks on a tool, but man how the collection grows over time.
Added bonus, I spent the time with the family and now the family is spending time with me on the 'Cuda! Wife does great work, never would have thought!
You can barely see the graphics my kid painted on the side of the car with water paint. She had a blast and the paint is coming off anyway so why not. Her friends were like
your dad lets you do THAT? (good times, good time indeed)
