Best of luck man. I know some have said pass on it, and find another project, but as you all know you cannot just float around town, and pick and choose. That option is just not there. You sometimes have to work with what ya got.
Like SBlue72 said "where there is a will, there is a way"
If this is a from the heart project, there is no way you will fail.
If your looking for some inspiration, this may help ya.
