DrKerry Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 Great points. I've been "picking at" a Freightliner cabover build for the past year or so. I'm a slow builder, and always try to get everything "right" because I know I'm not in the same league as most that post their builds here. And when you take that kind of time to build a kit -- well, it's easy to loose interest in it and then it never gets finished.I think that's the attitude I need to get-- don't get all uptight about it and try to turn off the "perfectionist" side of the brain. Like the person you mentioned "doesn't care how they look and after he gets done building it he takes it to the next local swap meet and sells it... He just builds for the fun of building". What a great attitude and what a great way to have fun and burn off some of the stress of life.I've seen guys do a "weekend build". Whatever you can do in 2 days. I've always thought that sounded like fun and would prevent that "pefectionist" in me. Plus it would have the added benefit of finishing a build ! And it could be "just for the fun of it". I'm the same way, it's gotta look "right" or I may not finish it. Gets tossed back in the box and left. I can be to much of a perfectionist myself... I just think sharing what you do will be enjoyment as well as improve a persons building as it allows people to say hey, sometimes it pushes the envelope when a builder says to clean this up or that up and it also makes us more aware on outlet next build!!! When it matters anyway!! Lol....
