yea wasn't meant to disrespt the young getting into the game. its just the reality of the hobby and crazy it has got. there is always room for the young guysm its just way way way more difficult price and parts wise. hell in the late 80's when i was starting out i could go to 4-5 local junk yards and they had a ton of darts, dusters,valiants, coronets,satilites...ets..etc.. you could pick them apart dirt cheap... all that stuff (around here atleast) has dried up. they crushed it all.. hell i picked a freh 340 out of the local you pull it for 100 bucks. 4 :10 sure grip abody 8 3/4 drum to drun for 100 bucks and the yard removed it for me.. 3:91 sure grip center section for 75 bucks.. man it was goo pickins back then, i thought i was too late at that time as guys a few years older had gotten even better deals years before me.. hell i can remember a good friend picking up a 70 challenger convert. in bburnt orange 318 car that he only paid 1300 bucks for. he brought it home and started driving it. needed nothing. was clean as hell he drove it 7 hours to the nats.. this was early to mid 90's. god knows what that car woudl go for today..
