It's been a long hard road, but I'm finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel on this project. The most challenging thing now is all the small details. Since it was taken apart by my 17 year old son, then got tied up in paint prison with the worst body shop in the D/FW messtroplex for 9 years, many of the screws, bolts, and mics small parts are missing now.
The moral to this story is, no matter how frustrated you get, NEVER GIVE UP. Restoring an old vehicle is like eating an elephant, you have to just take it one bite at a time.
