The usual "fed up with my project" rant.

I didn't read your whole thread, but it seems like you've gotten a ton done. Unless there's something I'm missing here, I would bolt it together with what you have, get some cheap wheels (even just LBP steelies, they'd be cheap), and drive it as is. Be sure to put any bare metal in epoxy or something first of course. The only catch I can see is that you need a driveshaft? What trans and rear do you have? If it's something standard like a 727 or 904 and 8.75", it shouldn't be hard to find one from a 340 Duster or whatever. Anyway, I'm sure I'm missing something, but at the point you seem to be at, just get it together, forget about pretty, and just drive it and have fun for awhile. It won't be hard to take it apart again later, or better yet, just take apart a small section at a time and finish it while driving. Let go of the idea of having a perfect show car right from the get go... or ever, maybe. I'd be more than happy to come and help do whatever, but clearly I'm too far away for that.
