J'ever feel like throwin' in the towel?

I know I'm about ready to go insane with my '70. I started with a swb truck, kept fixin' things the PO hacked. As I removed hacked parts and unsafe parts I find myself down to a cab and frame. (Even though the cab is hacked.)
I figure at least it still runs, but the last time I started it up the engine compartment was on fire and my wiring burned up...I keep trying to fix her up with the thought (delusion) that I will turn the corner and start building her up again. I figure once I get to bare frame I will be turning the corner, unless of course the frame is bent.....

Man! That sounds just like me and my truck. I've had mine for a year and I don't think I'm any closer to getting it runable now than I was then, even with a huge amount of work already sunk into it.

Keep fixing/restoring/rebuilding/having fun, everybody.
