Default last straw

anthony

i have been working to finish body/paint.took it to a friends shop where i have been working on it the last couple weeks .
because he has 30 yrs in this business and truely knows what he is doing. i wanted his direction and knowledge.he agreed to lead me.
which has worked out to this point.
at some point in the cars life it the left qtr had been wrinkled somewhat.i had asked to have him work out the qtr panel and i would do the rest.ive worked on alot of the car .i reached the point where its time to do the qtr and he doesnt have time or doesnt want to, so he had me start working on it.ive spent a couple days working on it .its just above my skill set to do whats needed to make it right. im just over it. i had a similar instance on the suspension change .(long story)i have had to do some things over and some things i had to try and make work with my limited amount of metal working tools and skill set and the car just wont be of the quality i feel i would be happy with.so instead of just making it "look" good to some people knowing myself that its not what i want it to be .im just done .
no more trying to make what can out of what i have either with the car or the money i have .

im not going to be pretending this car is something that its not . i know what really should be done to be true to who i am and what i originally wanted from this build .
im just not a pretender.
