OK I have a problem with project A.D.D.

I currently have 4 going and must have one finished by my wedding June 15th.

I started rebuilding my 94 Gmc sonoma x-cab solid axle truck.
Its currently in parts the plan was. 700r4 231/205 doubler Toyota axles 36-12.5-15 tsl/sx.
I have probably 3k worth of parts sitting in 3 paces to.put this together.

Then I have
1990 dodge Ramcharger 360 4speed.
It has Dana60s front and rear with 4:11 35" bfg that need replaced.
Its big problem is a tweeker owned it and every day i find new and interesting repairs that i have to.sort out.

Then i have a bone stock 1993 suburban 1/2 350 700r4 241 ifs 10 bolt
this has a blown up motor for the 2 time and sucks offroad.

the 4th is not.to bad BAJA GIHA 1966 vw that is fun.

Hear is the deal after the wedding we are going on a 15 day trip we do this every year. Travel sleep take pictures what not last year we did engineers pass in Co. But this year we are also moving in September to Benson As.

So i don't want to.move 4 projects. I want to finish 1. This is where i have problems. I can build just about any thing and i know it. I bounce from project to project never really getting any where. The Ramcharger is the only one that drives but I don't trust it. 2 dash fires will do that to a guy. I have had the Gmc the longest have the most time and money in it but it is also the farthest from done. The suburban would be nice but it need a motor a lift and lots of modifications to work for me.

So i have 3 months to fix one ditch 2 and drag one.

any and all thoughts and ideas are welcomed.

How about selling the Sonoma and parts, sell the VW, sell the burb, and then buy a wiring kit for the Ramcharger and finish that one off right. The Ram is most complete, useable, one ton drivetrain and easiest to finish up.

I have a harness and any thing can be 1ton the sonoma was 6 months ago. Its the closeset but also.least reliable and hardest to get parts for. First gen dodge tbi is junk if you have never played with it. Its no where as good as gm. I have to trust this rig so far i have never made it 90 miles with out using a wrench on the.dodge.

Then pick the one you want sell the others and get it finished. Asking us to pick one for you is going nowhere as we don't truly know what you want. You have to decide, but if project ADD is your problem thin out the projects.

Pick one sell the rest. The one closest to done would be logical, but if you don't trust it then why do you even have it? It would then be logical to pick one you trust that is closest to done or cheapest to get done(including time not just $).

Sell all 4 on craigslist and buy something that suits your needs and is complete....Sure thats not what you wanted to hear but thats what I would do

I have the dodge because a friend needed money she had no business even being in it. The longer i have of the more just plan wrong thing i find.The suburban would be nice but the more i think about it its just to big.

My sonoma i know needs the most work but in all honesty. Its 2 weekends of work I do this for a living.Also the reason i have so many in rig cost to buy i have less than 1500 in the lot. Parts well that's a different subject.

I am leaning to the sonoma as it personal value.Just because I have owned it going on 5 years and in 18 years i ave never kept some thing this long.
