Confederate, Basketcase pretty well summed it up. Don't get overwhelmed. Most of have been there. I bought mine in April of 1989 but it didn't get on the road until 1991. Then it was only for a short time because I started the restoration process. I was getting anxious to get it back on the road again and made a few hurried mistakes that I later regretted. Just remember, make sure it is mechanically sound before it gets on the road.

All this talk just reminds me of why I always try to get a car that I can just get in and drive. Or at least get one that might just need a few easy things to do. I would get too anxious waiting to get the work done so I can get in and just drive it. Yea, it means I need a lot more money to start off with, but in the end it's worth it.

Thanks for all the up talk, fellahs. It's such a weird thing to think about just how long these projects can last. As far as mechanical errors go, I can say it won't be because of rushing along, but rather because I'm no auto mechanic. :crazy: There will be many, many, test runs past the cow pasture and back around the block to work out the problems before I take the RR onto the highway near me. :drive:
