What do you guys do when you get burned out working on your car, To keep progress up Options

I am loosing momentum (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Me and a close freind have spent countless hours on my car, and it seems progress is slow.. we did take it for a quick spin last night, which at first seemed like we were over a huge hurdle, but then reality sat in today I worked on it all day messed with the door catches, triangle windows,which has been driving me insane... painted under the engine grills black, started to put on the side skirts, but didnt get them on...had to do some touch up painting on the longs so there wont be any rust for a very long time... and thats about it.. I need to order some carpet and a oil pressure gauge and sender, some seals, some seats or figure out what I'm doing with the seats, and belts, hook up the rear trunk pop, tidy up the wiring in the front trunk and other places and the list goes on ,, it now seems I am nowhere close to being finished....Thankfully next week I am going to be out of town on a business trip, so I wont be working on the car, hopefully it is the break I need to come back and be focused getting her finished...

Working on older cars you have to have the mentality that it's a marathon not a sprint. I have been working on mine for over 3 years and still not done. No big deal just keep at it. You want to do things right the first time, check it off the list and move to the next item on the list. Some items will go quickly others seem to drag on forever. For the most part I am a one man army so I can only go so fast. It helps if your wife/GF are not pushy also makes for much better mental health. If you need to step away to re-energize then go ahead. The goal is the finish line and for you to be happy with the results when you get there.
