* I would sell the actual parts the way it is and try to get as much of my money back
* I would go and buy me a nice driver which I have seen several in the past few weeks.
* Go out and enjoy life and the hell with working on vehicles on my time off anymore.
* Spend as much time as I can with my children and wife.....

Good luck!!!
I hear you but to be honest I just cant afford what I am building if it was a finished product. I have to do it a little bit at a time and take care of all the labor my self. It would be 15 or 20 grand and no matter how well I do in life I don't ever see myself being able to fork out that much. I bet you have at least 15 in yours. Its like LOCDOC said Building an old truck is like having bad sex. You cant wait for it to start but your damn glad when its done
