I would think anyone that has basically taken up the hobby of refinishing an older car has gone through the same frustration. Try not to worry about it and when things get overbearing, just remember how many people would like to be in your position with a classic and for some reason just cannot make it happen. Good Luck!

It's O.K.
I hate to think how many times I had to just shut the lights off and walk away.
