1970 Duster, Trans-Am-inspired "Pro Touring" build

Wow, you reminded me of a phenomenon I experienced over a decade ago when I was running my 1-man speed shop. Folks would buy stuff from me, then shove it under their bed. I was lucky to get a 30% feedback rate. You mentioned buying stuff, but you'll get around to installing it later. Seems people buy parts they intend to install, but often either never get around to doing it, or do it so many years later that ....

I don't typically take that approach, I only do it when a good deal comes up on a part I've wanted for a long time and I have some extra cash. I'm also attempting to buy up more expensive parts right now due to the current economic situation; between inflation, supply chain issues and materials shortages I imagine car parts are just going to keep getting more expensive as time goes on and I'm not betting on them getting cheaper again later on.
