Hey D. Took 12 years for me to finish mine.Got it out this Feb.Told my wife I was ready to start another restoration.She said"You bring another truck home you'd better find you another wife." I said," how you going to like living with another woman",she didn't think that was funny at all.Good luck, my restoration on my 3100 was a blast took something off fixed it to origional, boxed it and went to next item,no ryme no rythem,what ever I wanted to work on I worked on it.Get flustered drink a beer and work on something else,mostley drink beer.P.S, Mines all origional.
