Neal....I would venture to say that this is the case for 98% of us in this 
hobby. I have had the exact same feeling when I was about to embark on the 
wonderful journey of replacing the complete floor and both full rear 
quarters on my Valiant convertible.Once you get over the big hump of 
starting the project,things seem to fall into place.

I need to toot my own horn.  I just cant believe it.
   I have been practicing quite a bit and spending a lot of time over
   at" MetalMeet".com  and have managed to rebuild all the rotten rear
   window trough of my 64 dodge with new metal, lots of spot weld
   drilling and paper patterns, head scratching and a couple dead ends
   but i have brought a rear window area around that four weeks ago I
   thought was hopeless. And it was all done with simple brakes,
   hammers, shrinking hammers, a huge vise, some slappers and a few
   home built tools. No english wheels (not yet at least, hee,hee, next
   on my tool list!).
  I had to  drill out the spot welds  for the trunk hinge brackets and
  temporarily remove the trunk hinges and t-bars to gain access to the
  area.
  the bottom trough was swiss cheese and the cancer had completely
  eaten away the lip the  window gasket rides on . this cancer also
  had eaten away at the passenger side of the rear window area.
  I have been  foto-documenting this whole project and when i figure
  out how I will link you guys  up if u are  interested.
  I have been staring at this rear window for  8 months with a queasy
  feeling in my stomach "wondering" if i could do it, but doing nothing
  about it. When i actually began it instantly became much easier and I
  could
'clearly"  see what needed to be done, the fear and worry is worse than
the actual undertaking, which I am finding applies to many things in
life.
   I just love these old cars.
