Who else is getting nervous about finishing in time?

You are talking about the Winter build off right???
I know it'll be down to the wire for me but I'll make it.

There's always more that I want to do, than I can actually get finished... Usually it's a cash flow thing, or something I've never done before that slows me down. Last time I dug up an old arc welder and relearned how to weld after a 20+ year hiatus. This time it's my rear wheel... I might just have to learn how to lace a wheel, if I had a hub and some spokes... then fab a wheel disk.
Plenty of time left....

Seeing as this isn't an intense build for me I'm not nervous about finishing...
Yup!
Yep... very nervous and slightly worried... scared even 
But I will do it...
I have a welder and I know how to use it... sort of
Besides... it doesn't have to be completely "finished"... does it?
What bike is ever really finished anyway I wonder
Yeah... I'm a bit nervous alright

Ouch, didn't need this little reminder, haven't been near mine for two weeks!
Hate it when work gets in the way of fun, maybe some done later this week!

I'm goin' to Glen's house, it's too cold here (-10) to spray paint...
Wind chill factor down around -25... brrrrr!

You may have to go bare metal Carl! That's why I'm sticking to rust, too cold to paint & the wife won't let me paint inside.
I do like bare metal but
I'm pretty set on the "other" rat rod color...
BLACK!

Brought two of the parts I needed to paint to work. That way I could sling some paint on them, other wise the rest is the original paint and rust.
Yeah, I've pretty much decided the clear coat is out, never going to happen. Every time the weather gets warm enough to paint, I have bikes for paying customers that take priority, so I think I'm just leaving mine au naturel. I've still got to get it greased and get the light wired, and decide on a seat. I planned to polish off some rust, but meh, it was all part of a previous vision that has now evolved into something more suited for it's environment.
Yeah... it's 8:40 am and a cool 14ºC... so a bit nippy at the moment. That's about 58ºF according to my wee converter.
Yikes... -10ºF = -23.333ºC. That's stupidly cold. (you are talking farenheit aren't you?)I reckon getting any work done at all is a success in that frozeness

Yes it is... I have a couple small heaters in my garage, but with no insulation they only make it bearable.
Yep Fahrenheit... tomorrow we're supposed to get up into the 20's.
Woohoo a heatwave!

We rocked out to 42 degrees Celsius yesterday here... (108 F)

Too hot or too cold... where in the world is it a constant 20 - 25ºC year round? That's what I want to know
