I just took it in for a loose alternator wire!!

Now look at it.

While it was in. I decided to get an MSD ignition system put it.

Then I decided to replace the headliner that was falling down on my head.

Might as well replace the carpeting too huh?

Anyone else been here?

It's like a slippery slope...and you're wearing teflon-soled shoes.

It doesn't help when your 'friends' here on the FAQ are spraying the slope with WD-40.

Tough love is sometimes what's needed. I can take it.

Fitting analogies. AND the enablers will give you a beer and free advice while tire-kicking on the parking lot at Vintage or Mid-America '02 Fest! They will even dig up the spare part you desperately need to get going again! Project creep - definitely. Budget creep - definitely.
