Dont know were im going in the hobbie anymore:

This is long, but perhaps worth reading.....

I've been gone from board here so long I am sure I don't know any one other than a couple of folks here in Oregon and of course the always generous Rumblefish who hooked me up with some good parts way back when I was building my car.

However, I have one thing to say. THINK LONG AND HARD BEFORE YOU SELL!!!!!!

in 2009-ish gas was high, I nearly got nailed three times in 100 miles by LEO's with my 440 Dart and I panicked and traded the car literally overnight for a Jeep that I drove one time. I eventually made money on that, but the car I built was a perfect base to do what I wanted to do then, and still want to do.

Instant regret. Got discouraged, sold all cars and parts. I could fit all my mopar parts other than some truck stuff (I still have two Dodge trucks) into one hand literally for years. I played with my 4x4's, but I am a hot rodder at heart. Got an off brand car, built it a bit. still not right. This summer I just HAD TO HAVE a mopar. Bought one, bought a parts car this fall and just bought the actual car I will build the other night.

Here I am with a rough builder car, but a cool one, a rusty donor, and another decent donor car. A fair amount of work ahead, and I do like the work.

Reminiscing over, I lost close to ten years I could have been playing and it is going to cost me twice the price for arguably a lesser (although cooler) car when I am done.

One thing I noticed taking close to ten years off is that most of the cars are literally twice as much money for literally half the car you could get 9-10 years ago.
