Don't let that little tin worm on your shoulder, you know the one with the little pitch fork,very sharp teeth and pointy ears get the best of you. Get her away from further decay, cover her up, if possible get her into a building! At least if you didn't see it or walk past it everyday until you wanted to maybe this would help!Wish I lived closer I would gladly give you a hand to keep it from going downhill any further. Very nice tuck & well worth fixing up. Give or take a few years things could change. I understand your frustration, I've had mine for 6 years and it seems like its never going to get done. One of the older guys in the car club I belong to gave me some very good advise one day, similar to what Alvin said. If you made it a point to do something towards your project every day, even if it is 5 min. or 50 min. surprisingly it will start to be encouraging. The fun,adventures,people you meet & stories behind that beautiful old truck will last a lifetime. I know its not like that country song "It would have been cheaper to keep her" but it would sure be nice to see you driving her to a Stovebolt meet someday. Like everyone said Canuck, its your decision. Hope you make the right one. Good luck.
