Am I crazy for doing this on a 65 Barracuda ?

Thanks guys . I retired from being self-employed a couple of years ago . Work was very lucrative and I was able to put enough money back that I'm not worried about finances. I was very poor early in life and struggled at times to pay the bills but kept buying these cars when I found them at a good price. I guess I want " value " for my time and effort. I do like the show cars too though but don't want the liability involved in keeping them in that condition.

I'm waiting on some new door lock gaskets I ordered. They were cheap and my handle gaskets are in good shape after cleaning the paint off that someone sprayed on them in the past . I'll Armor All the door panels and stick them and the cranks and armrests back on with just a little clean up after I install the locks . That will get this stuff out of the car and be easier to remove the rear panel and get in there and treat the rust. I don't have to wait on anything to continue on with this kind of build and I like that. A person can go a different route on that if they wish.

I also installed the sill plates and pillar seals after just a little clean up. I can do more on them when I do the interior. it's just different in a lot of ways. If I'm mising something I get it and put it on the car as I go. Easy to pop off if I want to later on . My parking lights were too cracked up and I ordered some from ebay. Guy sent the wrong set and I'm going through the process of getting that taken care off. It won't be a problem getting my money back and it will automatically be put back in my account as soon as the tracking number shows they were delivered back to him .

Guy admitted that he sent the wrong ones but getting the one's I originally ordered may be a chore. Which is a story in itself .
