Yep when you completely take one apart and if you're doing the resto yourself then it can get overwhelming, I've had several old vehicles in the past and I've always just did little things at a time and still have it drivable cause if it ain't then you could very discouraged very easily...My current truck I had it for about 3 yrs before I could make it road worthy. had to replace the rockers all the usual rusted out areas and I only worked on it when ever I had time or felt like it..it takes time and $$$$$$$$$$$$$ which I never had a lot of cash to put in it sooooooooo a little at a time... And if you need some pick me ups, then I would recommend looking at other peoples builds to keep you going that's what I did...My truck still needs a lot of work but it's drivable now and I'm enjoying it for now...
it's not a show queen or trailer queen but it's a truck and I use it as a truck....
