Great progress .  .
You will be amazed at how good that PF looks after a clean and polish and no doubt that will help with keeping the motivation going .
Yep, it is somewhat intimidating having a pin in pieces but the satisfaction when its all back together and playable is priceless.

Just don't do what I've done and burn yourself out doing too many restos in too short a time . (in my case more than 1 a year for several years) as you will lose your mojo .
