Sounds pretty typical to me. It'll get done eventually  :)

I've determined what I will do. Put it back together and sell it unless I find someone that wants to buy it and finish the project

Alright guys you talked me into it, got the itch to bring it home from my parents house today and my toolboxes. Now the engine is complete and ready to be installed. Tomorrow's project will be engine installation, and eventually steering stem bearings

I find that removal and installations are fun. Refreshing parts aren't

I find it a different kind of fun. If fun is the word  :P

I feel like refreshing can be very zen, when you don't really worry about the time or the amount of work it just happens and you get engrossed in the details.

 Maybe it's the little tiny bit of OCD in me that gets to come out and play when I get into the refresh stage!  ;D

As it sits this what's left.

Seat cover
Gas
Oil
Chain and cover
Start it up
Run it and check for leaks
Front fender but waiting on steering stem bearings anyhow

After I know it is all good to go then ill do the steering stem bearings, might be a little backward but I want to make sure everything is fine before doing them.

Yes I kicked some a$$ today and dang do I like the new color

No it's a white plastic, but too hard for an ordinary stapler or the electric one I have

Possibly, some short furniture tacks would do the job ;D
