Neil, all you have to do to have more time for your projects, is to push aside everything you need or should be doing, and do what you want to do. Not really, but it does require some creative use of your time. I made most of my progress on the weekend, and putting the engine back on yesterday took less than an hour. If I can find an hour or two a day, and do alot on the weekends, then the projects move along well.
This 444 is going to get dirty Neil. Back when I started this project, my plan was to repair the engine, and anything else that needed attention, give it a rattle can paint job, and put it to work, but one thing lead to another, and well........ You know how it is. I'll take good care of it, but its going to be a worker.
