Then do it. If that won't work then try taking your project to work. They probably won't even notice it.

I know the feeling, so I took mine to work and on lunch hours and dinner hours ( which usually stretched to 1&1/2 hours) I would attack it and get some work done. The good part was my cousin ran the body shop of the dealer I was working at and him and all his guys were more than happy to help, so I got professional help and everyone enjoyed the process. It would have taken me twice as long espicially since I cut a door in the passenger side, but they gave me the confidence and direction I needed. They were sooooo surprised when I painted it and it came out great. So if the boss said it ok then jump on it, you will go home with a smile everyday :lol:
Back when I was working...(about 7 years ago) I worked as a Production Machine Maint. Tech.. I worked "graveyard shift", plant had only a few people working at night. If I had all my "pm's" done, and all the machines were up and running I pretty much had it made in the shop.
I found a set of plans to build the old Car Craft Project T ( from Steve Skaggs, anyone remember him from the NTBA? ) and had copies at work. I started dumpster diving and scrounging for material to build the various brackets and parts.
Having a complete machine shop at my job, so fabrication of the parts wasn't a problem. Being a "hi-Tech" industry we had lots of material laying around.
I started turning out SS threaded weld bungs for the Radius Rods, and cutting out brackets.
Wasn't long and I had a set of front Radius Rods, rear spring mounts, several other parts...
Just gotta be resourcefull.....Never let the parts get in the way of the JOB ! The job has Priority, afterall, thats why your being paid to be there....
Ofcoarse lots of Company's won't let ya build stuff of your own. I was lucky to work 35 years in a company that was pretty open about personel work and using company material..... "BH"
