Yep 5 months can turn into years especially if you keep up the way you're going!! I started on toomanytoyz' truck and it was to be done several months ago, but life got in the way. We decided to change some things as he and I wanted it done right the first time so things got added and the time got extended. You are doing good, and I understand the well it's out I might as well...mentality, but be careful time and money will fly by. Unless you've torn a vehicle apart this far and put one together it is hard to explain how SO MANY HOURS can go into the littlest of things. I have a new appreciation for HIGH DOLLAR FULL RESTO'S as it is a lot of work to pull one down (this is the easier part though), then reassemble it. Once they sit for a while motivation slips away. You have done a heck of a job, keep it up and I am sure it can be done just keep the final picture in mind!!
