Hey, fellow newbie here. Welcome to the club! Yeah, I wish I could forget about my list. Lol! Seems like a money pit at times but, is all worth it once you get that first drive under your belt....or so I'm told. Lol! I'm afraid to say what's been spent on mine. Good hobbies that last usually aren't cheap. I need $800 and about a week alone with mine and it will be done. If there was a wall to hit with anything I did, I hit it. Tried to get people involved I thought knew what they were doing. Was wrong there for sure. I saw a post on here somewhere that said something about you being able to screw it up as well as the guy you're paying. I know this first hand. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty or ask someone who's been there. Has been a real educating experience for me and my girlfriend. Am sure all will be worth it once that last wrench gets put away and the cruising begins! I got to drive mine about 120 miles before starting my restoration. Can't wait to get back behind the wheel! Can't tell you all the places I've been in that thing while never leaving my garage. Lol!! Hang in there, Eric.
