Project Road Trip
« on: September 13, 2011, 08:29:08 PM »
Well, after almost a year of ownership and enjoying the followship on this site, I am just about ready to begin my project. I bought my Eagle from Nebraska and took a road trip to pick it up. I took a road trip to Wisconsin for parts, Ohio for more parts, and Lansing Michigan for a few more to really round out my stash!

So I couldn't think of a better name for her than Road Trip. I'll post my progress here and incude pics as I go along. For now, I just need to get the garage cleaned out so I have room to work!

Good luck and enjoy the ride!  Remember, its not the destination, but the journey, that's important.  I thought that seemed appropriate for project Road Trip!

2 weeks and I still haven't been able to start. my daughter decided she was ready to have her room painted and I've been enrolled in that project. Then I bought cabinets for the garage and I need to get those installed and the garage cleaned up before I can start on the Eagle. Not to mention the other little projects (honey-do's) that need to be finished before I can begin. Sometimes I just want to go on strike!  :protest:

Or, maybe I just need to prioritize and give myself a kick in the pants!

At least give us some pics of what you're working with to start off. We need some before pics so we can see how awesome the transformation goes! :)
