I know what you mean about the Money Pit. These old vehicles will eat up all of your dimes,and quarters.And a lot of folding money too.When I started updating my 55 I had a figure in mind,of how much I would have tied up in it. But hey about halfway thru the project I had already surpassed that figure.Once the truck is done and you are driving it,it will all seem worthwhile.Sounds and looks like your gonna wind up with a beautiful truck.
