What motivates you!!

the fact that for the first time i will be doing a mini truck show inside of a big truck show and when the people see my builds and marvel at the detail that goes in them and when they say"thats cool" or "nice work" or the fact they will stand and watch me run the trucks and to get that kind of response from people and children from all walks of life is a blast to me and also to hear them say "whats next" is great also.i'm an owner/ operator and working on them or looking for new ideas is actually a stress reliever for me from the day of dealing with irate shippers and slow to unload customers ..i make time to do this it helps...just wanted to say that

It is all about a clean and organized shop for me as well. I used to be so messy that I had "clear an area" to start a project and I realized that I dreaded going down to the basement because it was such a mess... now I look forward to doing work in my clean basement/shop. I even clean up many times during a build so that my work area stays nice and clean.

nothing like the joy of carving something out of a block of metal

I enjoy enjoy building farm equipment becasue of the mechanical intricacies in farm machinery... I enjoy helping fellow members and potential members get into the hobby.

I would say stress relief. I like creating something out of a piece of steel or brass and sometimes aluminum. Aluminum last because I fabricate aluminum for a living. Operating my dragline after working on it for years gives me a great joy of creating a working machine from raw materials. The gears are always tuning in my head scheming ways to build vintage earthmoving equipment. With the technologies of today, Nothing seems impossible to build with some inner motivation. Sure beats the crap out of hanging out in the bar after work psin my money down the drain.

I enjoy working on my trucks because i've been modeling since I was a young kid. I guess it's in my bloodBut one of the biggest reasons is i've seen so many great builds, and it makes me get my butt in gear. And last but not least, i'm wanting to go to Indy this year to shake some hands, and meet some of the members in person.
