Confidence

My son and I have a 73 Duster in pieces scattered all over the garage. No drive-train, wiring, now no suspension (thanks to us) and lots and lots of rust repair and body work. We're tackling the rust repair and some of the body work now. Here are just a few of many things we have to do that scare me.

• Welding lower quarter panels back in.
• painting trunk and engine compartment
• Putting the upgraded suspension and brakes back
• Wiring
• and the list goes on...

Since it is the first time I've done any of this, I'm scared (actually I know) I might screw something up. In what we've done so far, this has delayed me starting for a bit, but once I get going on it, I get more confident as each step progresses. The thought of welding eight months ago was scary since I'd never done it before, but not a big deal now. I'm not claiming to be good at it, but learning from my mistakes and getting better as time goes on.
