The trick is to have it in a constant state of being worked on... Having most of the interior laying in pieces around my garage and the coutry helps alot.... Having it on jack stands and being inherently lazy also kept me from wanting to drive it.

I'm sorry. Just couldn't pass it up. How are things going for you over there? If you get a chance go to the volcanos. One experience you will not want to miss out on. My boss just headed over there yesterday. He's on the same island.

It's cool i would have have done the samething. Things are going great, weathers nice, works going good. I've been to the Volcanos on Oahu and Hawaii but it would be really nice to see the ones here on Maui. I'm going to go for a drive somewhere tomorrow just havn't figured out where yet.
