Congrats Mike on reaching that 1000 posts milestone. Don’t feel bad, I didn’t receive my commemorative paper clip bracelet either.
I have a running spreadsheet on my project so I know exactly where I’m at. Unfortunately I’m approaching my original estimate of what it would cost for the complete project (not including any upgrades) and I still have the bodywork and paint to do.
Mike, I understand your frustration with reproduction parts. I just went on a rant myself about the ill fitting and lack of quality parts available for our trucks. I try to refurb the original parts all I can but that is not always possible thus my frustration with these cheap facsimiles.
Yeah, they do cost more then we estimate, are a pain in the butt sometimes, frustrating and much more time consuming than expected. Having said that, most times, I love my time in my shop and enjoy my little successes! Like Kevin said, ”One bite at a time”!
