Here is the end of this thread, I'm calling it quits already.

No matter how many times i play it out in my head, i just cant bring myself to pull the trigger on this project. Its a tremendous amount of money for me to spend only to feel like I'm halfway there. I simply do not have the garage space to do this work now that my father-in-laws shop is not an option and my back cant really handle the heavy stuff anymore.

I did some soul searching while on vacation and admitted to myself that this will never be a good hobby. Its a job that i either finish or it never drives again. I simply refuse to put myself in a position like that with something i love.

This realization has me feeling quite depressed and I haven't so much as looked at the thing in weeks.

I promise that when the time comes i will sell her to someone that cares and not let it rot in my garage.
