One thing that I've done on my '51 (second restoration) that I didn't do on the first one is to keep a journal. As I work through problems and repairs I document everything - not going nuts, but enough info to tell the story.

When I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by all that's left to do, I look back through the journal at all that's been completed and it makes me feel better and gives me some perspective.

Oh yeah, once you get it where it can go around the block under its own power that'll really get you charged up!
