13 years, well I am going on 21 with the Roman Red K, it is painted, most chrome done or replaced, headliner in, suspension&steering 1/3 done(ball joints and rear springs to do)runs great drives fine, but not "done"...then the K convert, 4+ years and not even taken all the way apart yet, engine and trans still in the K donor car, etc. Then in a moment of using my heart instead of my brain, another K, opposite color combo of the first, just got started on it when we made the "move" last summer. Parting a letter car is a bittersweet experience. I have parted 2, a K and now a J, you hate to do it, knowing what they are/were, but knowing you are helping someone else get theirs back to where it once was helps. Just another point of view on the subject(s) at hand. Happy New Year to all.
