If you're totally discouraged just put it back together, stick it on a shelf somewhere, and take on your next project. Eventually you can come back to it with some more experience and tackle it once again.
Taking a break from something like this lets your mind wander back to the problem now-and-then and sometimes a bright light flashes on with something else/new to try. You'd be surprised what you see in a chassis the second time around that wasn't obvious the first time. Like Red Green says, I'm pulling for you, we're all in this crazy hobby together:
