I make and keep extensive lists of stuff that needs to be done on the project. It helps to organize things into doable chunks and put them int eh right order to eliminate rework. Am i alone in this obsession?

No, you are not alone, my list gets longer and longer. Doesnt matter if I knock a few things off it, always a dozen more to add on. Doubt I will ever stop modding her.

I try to contain myself. I don't actually have many more ideas that I could reasonably achieve. There is always room for more improvement performance wise I suppose. But I don't want to build so big that I'm breaking things. I like the car being somewhat original too.

Interesting trivial side note: The BudChev has never broken anything. The only exception was that the rear view mirror fell off once and had to be re-glued (cost $0). All money spent on this car have been unnecessary upgrades. I have done the brakes once and changed all fluids, but I have yet to even change a single light bulb in this 10 year old car!

LOL, guess thats your bag and thats okay too, me if I'm breaking things it was because I was out having to much fun and the universe has to put me back in my place...

As far as lists go, no not really a list unless it's getting ready to go to the shop. Mines more of a mental picture I work off of.

Its a never ending battle. It seems like sometimes the more you finish on the list the more you find that needs doing!

I am like any other gear-head. Once I start modding, it never ends. There is alway something new to do, weather adding Power or making her Pretty!
I have a "To Do" list in my head. It's more for the order I want to do things in rather than for the things themselves. My list is not very long. But some of the things, like Repainting and Decal design and installation can be Expensive!
