I think what you are finding out has been the experience of thousands of others. We put out time,energy, and money into something old, only to find that it's real value is less than just the amount of money that we put into it. Then comes the reality check as should we continue or take out losses. A friend once ask why I put so much effort into so old object and after a little thought I replid that for a brief time I could say that it was mine and I made it useable again. I had just as soon spend my time on an old tractor,piece of furniture,car,lawnmower,or what ever than watching TV,paying golf,fishing,or whatever as these are the things that I call my toys.At the end of the day I have the satisfaction of my accomplishments just as others had of making par while paying $70.00 for a round of golf. There are also days when a $150.00 carburator didn't help one bit.BTW If you take a real good look at that $2000.00 H I am sure you can find a way to spend another $2000.00 on it. When we go fishing don't we need at least one new rod or reel. Finish your H and enjoy or you may find yourself interested in little red sports cars with removable tops.
