Haha. True!
However, after all that hard work, I'm sure if it went over $10k, you wouldn't just stop.
I'm sure there's plenty you could do until you got some more cash.

I'm not giving up yet!
If things go the way I plan, I will finally have some time to commit to this project.
But I still need to build my garage, which means removing trees and laying a concrete floor.
It can be done, and will be done :)
Better late than never!

Ditto.
My Panel took 8 years to get on the road.
Now I drive it everyday.
The wait is worth it, even though getting done sooner is good if you can manage it.

Wow! Has it been 3 years?? Whenever I feel NOT motivated to work on my buses, I watch this video.

I love the vids Joe, come back and finish her up or just say, 'hi!' You have inspired lots of people to keep on working. HOPEFULLY we can inspire you a little bit to get'er done eh?!

(From all the way up in Kold Kanada).

PS Thank you for thanking me in the vid, that's my favorite part of course :) :)
