GMCAMARO, like the others have said we've all been there. I found and bought my truck while I was combing the junkyard for parts for a 1947 Chevy coupe I was working on. The coupe needed lots of bodywork and I though the truck was in better shape and could be driven a lot sooner... 8 years later and the truck still has a bit more work to do to it before it can be driven, but it's getting closer. The biggest thing for me was rounding the bend of disassembly and cleaning/painting to reassembly... it's amazing how frustrating and demoralizing it is to pull more and more parts apart, thinking it will never end. What helped me was picking a small part of the truck to clean, fix, and reassembly entirely. Not only did I feel like I was finally accomplishing something, but when it came time to put it back on the truck it made reassembly go that much faster. And believe me, more than once I've seriously considered selling the truck... and every time I don't I'm that much happier.
P.S. - where abouts in MA are you? If you ever need a hand or want to show off your project I'd love to help out and meet more Stovebolters.
