Way over my head

It gets a bit daunting sometimes dealing with these older cars when you are a novice like me. What I do to kinda keep afloat is to make a small checklist of stuff I want to get done. Couple that with "low" expectations and I find myself enjoying working on my car quite a bit. By low expectations I don't mean I don't give a hoot, I do, I just know I'm not a high end resto shop, so I'm not looking for show quality paint or the fastest car or anything like that. I don't even set time goals, those'll just end up frustrating you.

Take small bites, if I find I don't know how to do something I come here and ask. If its something more general like body prep, I'll search out some articles or youtube vids.
