So, I have taken my 59, Fleetside completely apart. I blasted the frame with black beauty. Every thing that could go wrong has gone wrong. I mean tools break with a regularity, I have never seen. Air tools, hand tools, electric tools. You name it has broken. Everything I have done I have been forced to do twice or get help.

The thing about this is, I am loosing motivation. I have a lot of mechanical experience. I am not in any way new to cars, body work and welding are relatively new to me, but mechanical's all my life I have worked on cars or other things. I was born with 1/2 inch wrench in my hand. Not an adjustable but a real 1/2". The replacement of tools and parts is putting a strain on me financially. The wife has been absolutely fantastic about the money, but me it is bothering. Also she is working to pay for all of this, I am unemployed. I am posting this because I am either looking for some motivational help or let me know what you need.



It's a 59 big window with a 283. 3 speed, with the original radio.
