I've been working on mine, on and off, for nearly 6 years now. I hit a wall, lose interest, etc., like everyone else in here, then realize that if I do just one thing a day, remove one dent, run one set of beads with the welder, sandblast or sand down one item, you look back and realize just how much you got done. Can't eat the whole elephant in one bite. Then of course it helps when 52Carl calls and asks what I've gotten done....knowing he's driving his '50 around, showing off while he's still making progress on both his '49 and '52!
Was invited to join a local old truck club last month and got around a bunch of folks who love AD's and old trucks in general. To see those pulling up in the parking lot definitely re-motivated me to start back up.
Nothing more I want to do than get my truck on the road, the wife in the passenger's seat (if she doesn't wrestle me for the steering wheel) and cruising around like we did when we were kids and I owned my first '52!
