Oh, believe me, I have thought about getting rid of her. I know it needs a lot of work, but you have to realize that I'm not expecting a lot out of her either. I want to keep it as original as possible, but I'm not putting a lot of money in her either. I know it doesn't look pretty, but a lot of stuff works too. I'm learning a lot and if it becomes a 20 footer, I'll be happy. Heck, I'd be happy just driving it around town like I did so many years ago. Got a lot of thumbs up, even in it's sorry shape. The motor is good. A lot is going to depend on the transmission. If it is shot, then I think this project is over. I have to admit this too...the wood is actually working and hasn't rotted. Maybe I'll make a wood body! LOL!
