Thanks guys.
I really didn't think it was that bad when I first started. If I new what I was getting into I might not have tackled it,but now that it's about 95% rust free it's all worth it to me!! I still have a few small things to clean up here and there. Now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and it feels great!!
some of the new parts have arrived today and I hope to see some more next week
