Yes and fun. The single barrel/barrel pick whiskey labels can get pretty creative as well.

Orange for one is stuck in my head. It's white over brown now but needs some accent.

That's the smart way but around here it was hard to concentrate up to a few years ago because so many old salvage yards were going out of business and you could make an offer on a 10 car lot for cheap and save a lot of stuff before it went squish.You need to concentrate on 1 car only and get rid of the rest. You are like me. Too many unfinished projects and none get finished.
There used to be 6 old yards in C springs and 4 or 5 more, south and a sprinkling of yards in the rural area.
Now there's only one I know of in springs and maybe 2 in the rural mountain areas.
It was sad because a few I knew of, the old timers died and the families were eager to sell you a multi car lot and you get whatever is in the block.
Then I flipped a lot of the B and E stuff and that world often pay for the whole lot. The cool thing about selling B and E stuff is it would go fast. One time I had a 69 road runner for sale and it was on craigslist for 20 minutes and sold to the first guy.
That is how I have a ton of parts for my 2 door valiant now
I had a 73 4dr Valiant a few years ago and gave it to my grand kid and he hasn't done anything with it. has a 6 and auto and ran good. I drove it around for a year and was hopping my grandson would do something with it but no...

73 valiants are just sweethearts, the last year for that body style and the 73/4 grille. 67 to 73 valiants are just cute. The short wheelbase and boxy style makes an adorable looking carI had a 73 4dr Valiant a few years ago and gave it to my grand kid and he hasn't done anything with it. has a 6 and auto and ran good.

I have an old pic of 4 or 5 2dr LaBaron- Diplomats in my driveway. Mine, daughter’s and son’s, nephew, and son’s friend. Should try and find it
We had a pair running around the University. One was a Diplomat and the other A LeBaron. Both kids cars with custom wheels.
