Alex I have just found your thread, I have to say man you have both impressed, motivated, and embarrassed me. I have spent several years sitting on my projects with excuses of I need this welder, I need this tool, I have to wait till i can afford this piece, I have to wait till I have a big enough shop.
I recently traded a '78 Dodge Ramcharger (that I have had sitting for over 12 years) for a '72 Duster. Its a bare bones Slant 6 car no options, with no engine or transmission. This one I will get busy on I have let a busy life and my own procrastination get in the way long enough, I thank you Sir. If you can make the progress you have with such limited tools, and available new parts, I surely can make due and get things done myself. Once again I thank you Sir, and I will definitely keep an eye on your continuing progress. By the way congratulations on the new home. David
