Default losing interest

I know this happens to people from time to time around here but I really think I am beginning to lose interest in my truck. Dont want to make it any faster, and lately, I'm not really giving a **** about how it looks. I thought about washing it today on my lunch break, but I probably wont...

I was looking at having a motor built for it right now after just dropping about $3K on the tranny and and countless dollars on everything else in the past 6 months... I was thinking of starting some of the body work this winter/spring and having it painted next summer. The body and paint has seen better days.

The interior is getting rough too. I need new carpet and the seats need a damn good shampooing. My stock sound system (now almost 7 yrs old) has 2 blown speakers, and the CD player works when it wants to. it also has an AWESOME casette deck in the console....

where in the hell should I go with this thing??? this is the first time I just had no ideas what to do next.... interior? body? finish the drivetrain/powerplant like I want????

I'm in a funk....

finsih the power plant. Its a bitch to work on something you dont wan tto touch with your greasy fingers. I would inish the motor and interior first. JUST My opinion and how I would/do do things.

Thats why my **** has sat so long and I havent messed with it. You just get burnt the hell out. Do the cam swap then work on the interior then exterior, thats what I would do.

I've got my cam and springs sitting in my locker in the shop... I just have yet to find the motivation to put it in... after seeing how Jordan's swap went, I really dont want to mess with it and fugg it up... I still have to drive to Tx in a month. His cam swap gone wrong just has me gun-shy to take mine apart honestly. and I'm normally the first to dive head first into something with wrenches in hand

-hey... you down for another swap in Dec Cody?? I'll bring the beer
