Cheers Mark!
Keeping motivated is the key to it all and sharing the journey with your kids is an amazing privilege. Although I will say like you my eldest daughter wants nothing to do with the car what so ever!! But we go 'shopping' to the mall together for our bonding moments! :)
I spend way too long thinking about what I need to do before doing what I need to do! It's the intimidation game but that's my process I guess. I make myself do one thing with the car everyday, that maybe cleaning one bolt to editing a video to doing some research online, it keeps things moving even if it's at a snails pace!
I find these forums a wealth of knowledge and everybody has been very understanding and patient with a first timer! I would like to see more build threads but I think it's the nature of these cars being propelled into the atmosphere in value and prestige that has slowed down the DIY'er taking his or her chainsaw out and going to town :) But I'm ok with that.
