OH Yeah, I have been in the "one thing leads to another" position before. Started off by one time to R&R a 350 with a friends rusty 79 Chev 4x4, honestly all we wanted to do was get rid of a worn engine with bad head gaskets and drop a good used 350 in it.....BUT about 100 decisions later and $25,000 + of his cash he had almost completely new 79 Chev 4x4 right down to the carpets and stereo. And it was definitely a "Well we did this so we may as well do that" project as the weeks and months went by!
