Re: Reality Check

I just finished reading all the posts on this thread, as I expected there was a bunch of great advice.

There is little I can add, but I wish you success in your venture.

Like many others the economy has slowed the progress on the work on my two project trucks.

I am one of the group that makes a truck roadworthy first, drives it while collecting parts as money allows. I have found doing it this way bargains can be found.

Both my trucks now are in a daily driver condition, but need sheetmetal work.

Being of the age I am, 62, I have realized that the journey is more important than the destination. My son and I are working on various trucks together so it makes it worth the while. The way I look at it if I never finish a restoration I know it will be ok since we worked together. I have found finding someone to share the experience with helps with motivation.
