The GM and Ford guys had a head start on us.

lots of good points.
one thing that people sometimes have to learn the hard way: MR. $$$ finds a true MOPAR muscle car worthy of big $$$ resto, get it done perfect, haul it to the big shows, NEVER drive it, get there and find someone else spent even more dollars and HE won the d---ed $5 trophy. o k i'm sorry if I make fun of anyone, BUT what usually happens is petty some he see the common man workin on and drivin his car and havin a blast, next thing MR> $$ wants to sell his overrestored collector car and get something to drive. O K so he keeps the mega resto car cause he can't find another $$$ guy to give him his investment back, so he stored it and buys a "less valuable" car, or he becomes a hands on enthusiast, builds one, drives it, and has funnnnnnn!??he learns to drink an occasional cold one, swear when he boogers his finger, lust for horsepower, ya get the pic!!
