Well let me ask you this. Do you like beating your head on the wall? Probably not. Me either. Their is no need for me to start from scratch and have a pile of rusty truck sitting on my property for years just waiting for me to figure out and get motivated on how to correct decades of rot. That being said and after consulting with my contacts in the restoration biz, we came to the conclusion that I would rather own/drive sooner than later. Therefore, it means my price of admission to the world of old trucks will be higher. If I want to pay that then I need to make that decision.
