  • "Climbing out of the Doldrums: What to do with a stalled Project" by Zach Bowman in Hagerty News

    We've all been there. For me, my back story is that my reliable 1955 Commander coupe (after almost 45 years of doing nothing) required a tow home in the last two outings. Clearly a no gas issue, as it started right up away with gas shot into the side draft carburetor with a turkey baster. But it wouldn't keep running. No gas was getting to the carburetor. So I buy and install new "Carter" fuel pump. Works for a few blocks, then nothing... Buy a rebuild kit from a Studebaker vendor, rebuild the pump, and now lots of gas. (thank you, MB). But gas is now spewing out the carburetor. Carburetor kit required. Another project. Not like I need another. I have about 50 very restorable (and some very desirable) cars, with many parts. But its obvious I'll never get to them because there just isn't enough time. (Send me a PM if you are interested in purchasing some)

    I found the article "Climbing out of the Doldrums: What to do with a Stalled Project" by Zach Bowman in Hagerty News to be a light-hearted discussion on the topic of stalled projects. Worth a read . I don't know how to post it, if possible.

    I suspect many people on this forum have stalled projects, and I hope the message is a little inspirational.

    Yes, I have stalled projects. Buying too many projects because the price seemed too good to pass up has become a bit of a burden. I keep plugging away, making progress but it will take a long time!
