My hope: In retrospect, I was CLUELESS on the overall process of a frame-off restoration, the total work involved, the money it takes, and the amount of time required. HOWEVER, I GAINED a sense of pride that will last with me until I go to the grave. I will never regret doing this and esp'ly together with my son-in-law, other family, and friends. Now having said that. My hope is to help others, NEWBIEs or not, better understand the process and have an appreciation of what is all involved. I have talked to, heard of, and seen several projects which were started and never finished. Individuals have gotten frustrated and given-up on their dream, many in part because they did not understand what they were getting into. So if this photo album can be used to gain a little understanding of the process, then I feel I have "given" something back. If it is not obvivous, I am a believer in the "pay it forward" concept. So if anyone is able to pull some value from this or any of my truck related photo albums, please "go for it".
