What am I doing
Hey guys, I wanted to post a photo of my restore project. It is at this point that panic starts to set in. WHY IN THE WORLD DID I START THIS PROJECT? WILL I EVER FINISH? HOW MUCH MORE WILL IT COST? I could be fishing. I guess it is a labor of love. My son sure will be proud when I hand him the keys and it will all be worth it. I'll post more photos next week.
