I can def see why. Honestly, I am starting down this path with Frankenstein as it is. I have owned the truck for 9 years this coming September and really haven't put much into it other than the basics. It has been a good solid DD for most of that time. I honestly thought I would be further along with it by now but the only times I have parked it for a long period of time is over winter as I wasn't really a fan of driving it in the winters we get up here in Canada.

My philosophy has been that they’re more fun to drive than to work on, so I try to keep mine drivable as much as possible. I missed driving it today to a swap meet, but it’ll be even more fun once I get the ac installed
