My car isn't even a 50 footer but I still enjoy it. I think I've gotten to the point now where I'm not super concerned with how it looks as long as I can get in it and drive it.

Bummer about the crack in the frame. That might take some work to get fixed.

Keep plugging away. Progress is progress even if it doesn't seem like it somedays. I worked on my car a bunch earlier this year without anything seeming to change and then one day it was ready to fire up. Of course, as soon as I started to drive it again I immediately made a new list of stuff that had to be changed...........
