How to live to old age in the Mopar hobby

I agree you may be upside down monetarily if you buy a car that needs a ton of work and you do not know how to do the work yourself or are not willing to learn. However I would say you’ll be in the positive as far as education and knowledge. We all look at the world as a big dollar sign however learning and educating ourselves as we work on these projects could also be turned around and used to make more of those dollar signs.

I'm a shining example of this... of course I always was in to cars and always fixed my own cars, but never really got into them too deeply. I took high School auto shop and all that and majored in it as well. Work lots of skilled jobs, but always fix my own cars. And this duster when I got it 6 years ago I really embarked on a total disassembly and reassembly many many times on it. I've changed everything. I could have just kind of put it together and made a huge profit by now but I'm upside down into it like you wouldn't believe! LOL loving every minute of it and of course and my wife knows every penny that's been spent. But the education that it gave me... I now for a living help people restore their cars from all the knowledge I gained working on it.. It not only pays well, but I do what I love...
