When does money outweigh sentimental value? 1968 notchback build thread

Damn, you think that your car is bad??? Take a look at the pix i have on fabo of my piece o **** i am completely rebuilding, then look at yours again. A 67 slanty 6 notchback isnt very desireable except for parts that is. I decided i wanted it, and wanted to convert it to a V8 4 speed.

Wish i started out with a more solid and straighter car to begin with, however its all about the journey. I have had the car 8 years, actually started to dissassemble and start 5 years ago. Yeah i could pay more for a better body, but this ones mine. I have more time than money, so i do it myself. If you still have your car from high school, you are very lucky.

I wish i had my 68 charger i drove back in high school in 1987. I bought the car in 1984, and sold it in august 1987. Learned how to do basic mechanics on it, autobody, and paint. If i had it back i would tear it apart and redo it correctly this time. I bought my 67 cuda to try to bring back memories of a simpler time when i was a teenager working on my first car. I tried to find another 68 charger. Not paying $3,500 for a basket case charger. Diesel VIN, and all the other fuckwads in hollywierd just about ruined that for us regular folks.

I say keep it, rebuild it. Who cares about the cost going into it. I theow my reciepts away. I dont want to know. Its your first car, the memories outweigh the cost as far as i would be concerned if it was me.
