My #1 problem always was knowing when to stop & that it was 'good'. Heck, it still is. This also is a factor in why I seek out clean, patina, survivors so I can live w/how it came from GM
I get what your saying. I did consider buying a nice original paint SWB truck but the price kind of killed that, not to mention all the mods I wanted to do didn't make it practical. I have come to grips with building a show worthy truck and driving the wheels off it. Truthfully I have done this before. I just had to get it clear in my mind that when you drive it, **** happens..... then you fix it. My 1954 COE Tourliner is a good example. I finished it 10 years ago and have put 20,000 miles on it and it still looks fresh.
