Now in my naivety I am slightly embarrassed to admit that after reading all these forums i kind of had fantasies about working on this in my garage in my spare time-learning how to build it as a went along etc etc. Unfortunately with two (very) small children to look after and a new business to run, I quickly found that in this my head was very much in the clouds. The next six months she basically sat in my garage and in that time i managed to read a small fairly uninformative book on rebuilding a truck and removed about 5 body panels. It was quickly evident that carrying on like this i wouldn't have it finished for like 4-5 (hundred) years.
But the real nail in the coffin to the idea of me doing the work was that i even did an small evening course in welding at my local college, which all though fun and informative i realised with out a lot lot more work i was never going to be able to do the work at a standard i wanted (I am a tattooist by trade and in all honesty it has taken me 6 years to get to a standard i am happy with!)
So i kind of went back to the drawing board with how to proceed.
