Tell me about it....It should be on the road this weekend! I am still waiting on my armrests and front door panels to be done. I promised not to drive it without it being 100% but this is just crazy. Its almost like its a trophy as opposed to a car; not supposed to be that way.

Eh? No trophy yet :wink:

More like an expensive paper weight in the garage.

:lol:

Follow through, and if in the end you are a biotch like me and have to let it go, then do it. :wink: Having had it, enjoy it for a bit and passing it on is 90% more of what most get to do.

People use the term "flipper" like its a bad thing lol :lol: . I don't think it is a "flip car though if you build it.

I am about keeping the main-thing the main-thing. Although I love my cars, I don't love them as much I my family or their well-being

You cant take them with you when you die. Better to let some one else enjoy things as much as you have.

Isnt there a show about keeping things, collecting things and not letting go?

Oh "Hoarders"

:lol:

This has been great reading for me. Just picked up the unaltered '64 that came up for sale here Friday. Still trying to decide if I want to drop it off at the body shop, or just get it running and drive as is.
