Ha Ha Ha, naw...it's more like:
1. Collect all the parts you think you'll use someday.
2. Scatter said parts all over your garage, your house, the trunks of your other cars, your buddy's garage, etc.
3. Come up with at least five completely different ways to build your car.
4. Buy more parts to cover at least three of the five possible build angles.
5. Start mocking the car up and looking at it.
6. Drag home a motorcycle project that was just to good a deal to pass up.
7. Mess with the bike for a week or two.
8. Go back to your mock up and decide you don't like the way it looks.
9. Scatter parts around and regroup your thoughts.
10. Trade off your reliable daily driver for another semi-driveable "easy project car".
11. Spend three weeks and several hundred dollars on your new clunker.
12. Sell a few parts that you "probably won't use" on your project car to pay for more repairs on the clunker car.
13. Tinker with the bike some more.
14. Head out to the garage one day with a couple buddys to get a flying start on that project car.
15. Put the parts back to the way you had it mocked up last time.
16. Drink beer and bench race the rest of the night.
17. Come out to find your clunker car needs a radiator.
18. Sell the bike project to buy a new radiator.
19. Go back to the garage and start putting the chassis together for the hot rod project.
20. Take up a diversionary hobby, such as radio controlled cars.
21. Forget about the car project for another six months.
22. Buy a "donor vehicle" to supply the drivetrain for your hot rod project.
23. Drive the donor vehicle for the next year and a half because your cool old clunker died.
24. Move to another part of town and take a year or so to unpack all the parts in all the boxes for the car project.
25. Spend all of the next summer fixing things around the new house.
Well, that's only the first 25 steps, out of maybe 250...but it oughtta get ya started, anyway!!!
