ok, over the past 6 years, I've done damn near everything on my car... the transmission is probably the only part 'untouched' and even it got new seals and every linkage bushing...
but now, when I drive it, I'm nit-picky, and every little thing seems to cause worry... example... yesterday it got up to the high 80s outside, and my car, in stop-go traffic got up to slightly less than 220 on the way home... and I started worrying of over heat... every rattle, noise, smell or anything a 40 year old car could have, worries me bonkers to the point the fun in the car is far upset by the paranoia... does anyone else get like this? |

Wayne, I know exactly how you feel.
Every rattle. Every movement. I am still learning the car. its the first car that I have built largely alone. its like I am expecting it to fail at any moment sometimes. I have gotten to the point where I believe my engine will get me to where I need to get to, but I don't have any faith in my electrical system. Right now it is my headlights. They are ghetto rigged, but still not working right. i am concerned about it enough that i am not driving the car - and I *WANT* to be driving my car. So, yeah. I know exactly how you feel. Zach |
