Re: Restoration insanity
cj847; I have been working on my project 68 stepside for almost 2 years now. Yes, life often makes you momentarily redirect, but I try to do as much as I can each week.
To me, the joy in the project (I am doing a frame-off restoration) are the little rabbit holes I go down as I am doing the repairs. One repair will uncover another item needing attention, but these are after all, 50 year old trucks.
I am leaning more than I ever thought I would, which gives me that unique connection with my truck. There is not a single square inch of the truck I have not stripped, sanded, removed rust, sanded, welded, primed, or even seam sealed...no one knows my truck better than I. But I think all of us here have similar stories to share.
I guess I am saying, yes, there will be frustration during your build, but that is momentary. The final outcome makes it all worth while.
I say don't over think it, enjoy the experience challenging yourself as you build your truck; it will be fun and rewarding.
Good luck on your project, I look forward to seeing how it progresses.
Cheers-
