***EDITED TO BE MY BUILD THREAD*** I left in the important paragraph (IMG:style_emoticons/default/KMA.gif)
The journey begins! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) "im sorry it was without your consent, but you are ALL now my new mentors, educators, and general eFriends/maybe some day REAL friends. Look forward to that noob-to-educated resource transition! " here's kind of where i basically started:  Thanks Everyone! |

Don't worry. You can do this. At least your seat mounts are still attached to the floor; mine weren't. If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed just step back and focus on one easy part of the process. If you get upset while working on it, move to something else or leave it alone for a bit. That is what I do. This is my first restoration project as well. I just remind myself that it is supposed to be fun and that the only deadline on being done is the one that I set.

I agree with Chuck, I did it on my last car project, before you cry or get out the bigger hammer take a break and work on something you can complete however trivial. |
