All of the above is excellent advice. Think long and hard on what it is YOU really want. After owning the 59 for nearly 30 years it was part a labor of love and part reward for the old girl for always being there ready for anything. It was a long AND frustrating process that took 3 years and over $30K and personally I would never do it again. At this time I have her up for sale and will never recover my investment but unless I receive what I am asking in order to move on to my next classic she will be in the garage ready to go when I am. If I knew at the start of the project how much time, money and frustration was going to be involved I would have went looking for a truck that was already restored to my liking and bypassed all of the negatives. As mentioned, decide what you want to do and walk away from the project for good or for a time. Should not be a rush to the finish and at times these projects can take years and years to complete.
