Re: thinking about giving up on build

My opinion (and its worth what you paid for it), is to get the driveshaft made, throw together a cooling system, and put together a rudimentary harness. It looks like the brakes, suspension, and steering components are in (or close to it). Sit on a milk crate if you have to. I've found that nothing gets me more excited about working on it just being able to drive it around the block. After 5 years, you've earned it and I'd bet it puts a big ole smile on your face to see it move under its own power. I've never done a frame off, but I can see how it would be difficult not to miss the forest through the trees.

Good luck brother!
