Needing Some Direction

My '70 Swinger 340 was blown apart in 2007. It's in the garage, never exposed to weather. I bought parts when the were on sale, and bought at least one part per paycheck. Now that I'm retired and rebuilding her, I have parts coming out of my ears. Rather than buy something new, I have to check my attic first. For example, my driver's side rear view mirror is so worn in the pivot socket, it just flops down. I looked in my parts stash, and sure enough I bought an OEM part in 2008, still in the box. The point is keep the faith. Once your little one is old enough to hand you a 9/16's wrench, you're on the right path.
