PJ, My truck was Jan '05 in IRWIPI and most would say that "you are crazy for thinking of starting a project like that".
You have to enjoy the process. You have to have the funds. Sometimes the timing isn't right.
I once sold a project before I started it, just because the "baby needed new shoes". (Actually I needed the money to keep the gas on). That was a long time ago when I was a newly father and had more dreams than money.
I look at the '40 now and can't believe how far it has come.
Just take one part at a time and after a while you won't believe how far you have gotten.
Hope it helps…. Hang in there!
