I think I have become a Mopar snob

I can understand that. My wording might be a little strong. I think I am jealous of that guy with the Swinger at the show in a way. Our hobby is filled with guys like me and guys with big wallets and nice cars too. As long as our hobby is alive and well that's all that really matters.
Now that sounds better. I too do all my own work as I cannot afford to pay for it and am lucky to have the skills to do it. I dont look down on anyone that cannot do it and has to pay someone to do it. I love all old cars including the Chevelle and Corvette. My actual dream car will get me burnt here but is a Mustang fastback 2+2 that I will never be able to buy. Just a project of one of those it 10 grand.
