People who let rare cars rot.

I figured this out decades ago. Parting cars, yes the hard dirty work,.... selling parts, swap meets with all the expense, the time, travel for these of us wayyyyy out, it makes you figure out pretty quick if you like it or not!! My parts accumulated way back in the 80;s as I was restoring and selling done cars, selling projects, the parts cars came and went, parts accumulated. I never recall that I wanted to be in the used parts business! I would take parts to locals Mopar shows that had a swap spot, or to Nats and a few time from Mo. to Carlsle. Sold a little out of the shop that was many miles from the population. You either love the whole deal or not. Can't say I loved it at all.
Unless you live close, you never make many $, especially going long distance to the big swaps, even back 20 years ago when things were cheaper. I was SOooooo glad when I finally got all my spare parts gone. I kept some stuff for the models I was doing at that time. I gave a pickup FULL of good parts to a good friend back 25 years ago. He had put me onto some great cars, for what he gave for them, and he was CHEAP!!!!
I learned way back decades ago I am not a people person. I enjoy the company of good people that I share the love of the same things.
Being poor, or having $, or being conservative ( tight ), or throwing $ away, be they loud, or quite,.... they can all be good people. Assholes are assholes no matter what.
