1966 Plymouth Barracuda

I came home from many deployments to a pile of new parts, rebuilt a TR-6, and an old Jeep Gladiator that way. Once the home bills were caught up, I had an allowance. Barely been able to touch a wrench now that I've retired and got a "real job." As others have said, focus on the remaining mechanical first like suspension , brakes, and any other system you haven't yet been through. This will not only make the car safer, but a whole lot more fun to drive. Saving up for a paint job is nice, but bodywork can also be a pay-as-you-go process. An interior split over 4 or 5 paydays (seat covers one month, carpet the next, headliner, door cards, etc...) almost seems affordable. Stay safe.
