Just keep it fun. When it's not fun anymore, progress grinds to a halt. Too many of these trucks start out with good intentions and never end up back on the road. After my wreck, I told myself I'd have my truck back on the road in two months. It's been a year and a half.
That pretty much describes what happened to my old '63 C10 after I sold it. My Buddy I sold it to drove it for a couple of years, then sold it to another friend who drove it for a while before tearing it down to do more work on it.
Long story short, he never finished his work. He split with his wife, who got the house and the torn down truck in the deal. Last I heard, her new boyfriend was going to work on it. That was over 25 years ago. I never saw that truck again. I was sad when I heard that it was never finished.
