Mike,
I really think I can get what I have spent back but probably not much for labor, if any. But the payoff for resurrecting a truck that would not have been saved had I not had the desire and whatever else it takes [I certainly don't have much money] cannot really be calculated. Bolters' are all the time saying things like, "If you want to do it - do it!" And that wisdom is right on the money for me. At almost 68 and an understanding wife the little things like finding parts on e-bay or refurbishing the tiniest little nut or bolt or part are a real adventure and as much fun as anything I have done in my life. My ride, which is in a thousand parts, is a 46 chevy pickup. Here's wishing you the most fun and enjoyment possible with yours.
Lane
