NEW THREAD-Why we don't finish........

Another fun, sane and true account from CaptKirk! I have fell into all types of these setbacks and found i never had the right plan and never finished the project at the time. Number one, buy the best car you can. If i had my teenage and young adult life to relive, i'd save for three years and buy a good clean, Musclecar instead of buying cars needing total restos. It's nice to say i own a 1970 Hemi Cuda, but if it's a shell with no engine, paint or interior for 15 years what do you really own. I bought alot of cars that needed alot of work and never came close to truly finishing them. the bondo-bucket 1969 Mach 1, the 56" Chevy hot rod, never did get it painted or detail what i wanted, The two V-8 Vega's, The bad sub frame Firebird, I sold and LOST money on each and everyone before spending every extra dollar working on them. I finally decided, buy a car to restore (Fix up) and don't buy another until it's done. I got my Duster 340 by luck on the cheap, rust free and needing detailing and some light restoration. The project started in 1993 and was finished (well there never finished) in 2007. It took every nerve, sweat, and patience but the end result was worth it.
