I feel a bit duped here.....

[novajess1972]

First: don't feel bad at all, BigFish. This C10 is my fourth classic vehicle and I still very much consider myself green and a novice. I learn at least 50 new things with each project, and hope to continue to learn a ton more. Look at is this way...the more screwed up your vehicle is, the more knowledge you gain by fixing it yourself.

Second: understand that with these trucks being 35-40 years old, many have changed hands more than 5 or 6 or more times. Everyone has to leave their "mark" on it somewhere. And trust that I have been yelled at by my wife enough to know the frustration of buying something that needs more work (read:money) than we initially budgeted.

Last: know that as long as this site is here you will always have support and guidance. I still ask the silliest questions on thsi site, and there are always folks that are willing to help....and they're really good about not making you feel like you never should've asked to begin with. These site members and supporters don't even know us, yet are willing to jump in and send help.

This concludes my mushy moment

Good luck, BigFishBobby and we are here if you need us.
