So I wanted to feel like I am getting something accomplished on my Regal project so I started working on the rest of the interior since it is the only thing that looks close to being done so I install a new headliner and then recover the rear deck and repaint the third brake light but then I decide I should notch the deck to fit 6 x 9 speakers before going any farther so now I have to pull the rear seat to access that.
Then I am thinking I should order my tint and get that installed before the speakers go in because I don't want to get any water on them from the install.
But I decide I should do the body mounts now just in case I have to cut open the floor to access one of them but finally end up pulling the entire interior because I realize I can't really lift the body until I weld in the new driver's side rocker on and after cutting that off I figured I will also fabricate an inner rocker and weld that in before installing the outer rocker.
So, so much for getting the interior done first.

I know the feeling. I pulled my engine in December of 2014 to reseal it and paint it. Then I sold the engine and bought a new one. Then I decided to clean up the front portion of the frame. Then I decided to rebuild the front suspension. On and on.

Sometimes that's the quickest way to the final goal. I like to do things like that it keeps me from getting bored just focusing on one aspect of a build.
