I have enjoyed and found your posts very helpful, I think sometimes we post with no feedback and wonder it it's worthwhile. Well for me yours certainly are!
I have a '56 panel project waiting to start on but must finish my current project that has slowed to a crawl by indecision, I mig welded one rear quarter panel in and it warped (my fault) so on the other side I was going to use panel bonder but it has been to cold for it the shop.
After weeks of procrastination yesterday I said to hell with it an mig-ed it in and I will deal with the consequences latter. Feels great to do something even if it might be wrong.

I have noticed that sometimes I get to fussy and picky about something and it is never right but if I leave it for a week I can't even see what I was stressing about. Stay safe.

That line pegs me to a tee. I have a tendency to go longer than a week, and than alot of times I wake up in middle of the night with the answer to the problem, like out of nowhere.

Thanks for that . it was very uplifting for me

Gerry! Great job on your truck!
You guys have way more patience than I have! I know these builds can take many hours, days, years, and dollars! I have really enjoyed following along on these great truck build threads! Merry Christmas and thanks to all that have taken the time to post the detailed pictures and inspire folks to get out there and do something!
