First off my 59 W200 took me 3 1/2 years to put on the road so it wasn't an over night thing. Most of the time was in finding a frame, bed, rear axle, gas tank and small parts. While looking for parts I had to look for the money to buy the parts. I bought my 59 for stress relief as I've told many others, if you own your own business you know what I'm talking about. As I was assembling parts I worked on what I had when I could find /took the time to. Family and friends called my truck the holiday special since I would work on it during holidays. When I did the TW from Eric, he had most of the major parts already, I just had to figure out were some went. I worked on it over the winter during my off season but also worked on two of Eric's trucks and finished off my basement, to appease the wife. I guess my point in all this is as some have said everyone has different priorties, motivation, what ever. I found that it helps tremendously to have a plan and to set goals as well as to enjoy the journey along the way. I would not trade a minute of my journey with either of my trucks for anything or the people I've had the chance to meet along the way. Good luck to all and WSNH Ron
