I have been working on my project since 2001 and had a few major costly set backs. I refuse to pack it in. I have spent to much $$ and time on it. I just want to hear the motor run and go for a drive.

So if anyone has an extra 20 hours at week they can throw my way I would really appreciate it.
I bought my truck in 1994. Since then there is always a "next project" for it. Right now my next project is the rocker, kick panel, and part of the floor on the driver's side. I did the other side over a year ago now.

I like to look at it this way...
When I was in grade school I wanted to be in middle school. Then when I got to middle school I remembered how easy grade school was.
Later on I couldn't wait to get out of middle school and get to high school. Then when I first got to high school I remembered how easy middle school was.
By my senior year I couldn't wait to get to college. Once I got there I remembered how easy high school was.
Towards the end of college I couldn't wait to get out and get a job and earn some real money. Once I got out I realized how easy I had it in college.

Now I'm married, have a 4 year old, work too much, and have retirement to look forward to...
But wait a second. After I retire the next thing is death. I'll take the mortgage, kid, wife, no time to work on "fun" stuff. Because some day I'll be wishing I can go back to NOW.
