How to live to old age in the Mopar hobby

My rule # 4.

A few decades ago this was way easier> MY hobbies need to pay their way. HOW!???????
Buying a good project car, that is a complete runner was way easier back in the 80's, 90's, and yes it took work, not sitting on the *** work but work and networking and developing friends that helped each other out. I would find a car I wanted, then a couple of trader cars, that is flipping cars. Oh wait, there is that ugly word. I found a car that someone else wanted needed and I was able to clean it up, get it running, and let someone else enjoy it. What is so wrong?
Parts cars? The world is full of cars that yes can be saved but is it always practical? No. There are still tons of useful parts cars. Many are overpriced but I bet this Corono deal will bring some things back to reality.
Let the newbie know parting out cars, finding parts cars that can be bought, boxing, figuring shipping, advertising, dealing with the tire kickers, wanna bes, be backs, dopers, etc is not for the faint of heat. Pulling parts is work, some people rally enjoy. But it all can help pay forth hobby. I realize lots of people have all the $$ to play their hobby. They gave that kind of salary!!
Or thy say, so what if it takes 10 years to get the car on the road. Chances are in 3-4 years they are bored, disinterested, frustrated because they cannot drive that car!
Most hobbiest will read the above and just say, this is my hobby I will pay for it, no need.

When I was a kid I wanted a good quarter horse. One broke good, trained good, with conformation, with some pretty, brains, ability. That costs money. My after school job at the local grocery and 12 hours Sat only went so far in 1964-66. So I had to figure a way to make that hobby pay. So I learned to start colts, to train, to trade horses, to look at a green colt and see what I could make of him.. Then it was the same way when I got into the Mopar hobby. It needed to pay its way.
