I hear all the advise and maybe I should buy a completed car, drive it for a bit then decide if this project is right for me (I'll still buy the truck now but store it away). The other side of my brain is saying, "awe you can do it, just jump in feet first". I have built (3) component cars that have all been top show winners. Either way I go, I will be joining your ranks and look forward to learning.

The other thing to keep in mind is that buying a "restored" car is no guarantee that it was done right. I am into my sixth month of re-restoring my 29 tudor. Looks good doesn't it? (see avatar) I thought so, but on closer inspection I have found much that was done not well, so I am going through the car again. It will be correct when I am done!
Your winning awards for your component cars shows that you have the needed attention to detail for the task. Take your time and do your research and I am sure your truck will be winning award one day.
