Very cool build and thanks for detailing the hurdles...
Thanks for taking the time to read my build, I have made a lot of rookie mistakes and my mechanical skill is only a little better than average but I try my best.
I wish I had welding, fabrication and body working skills now but I will have them someday.
This is my first frame off and I was way out of my depth when I started but I am learning as much as I can as I go so I can do it right, it is a steep learning curve to say the least.
For now I just throw as much money at it as I can and hope for the best.

I'm right there with you… I purchased my '65 3 plus years ago sans engine and had plans on stabbing an engine and driving... Thanx to some prompting, from my boy, I pulled it apart down to the frame, found it bent and the fun ensued… My "Budget Build" has definitely blown the budget... just don't tell my wife...
