RE: Buy vs. Build

[62pluckedchicken@xxxxxxxxx]

Don you hit the nail on the head, while I'm not a mechanic (not even 
close)with a little guidance I can get a few things done.. 

George was kind enough to come over to point a few thing out and give me 
some tips on how to do it, as well as the great info provided by the 
members here.. between that and just plain old elbow grease removing 
rust and "restoring" the old paint. I will actually have a decent driver 
I can be proud of this summer (a "10 footer" instead of a "20 footer"... 
ha ha)

buying can definitely be cheaper than building...

not to get all Zen on you.. but for me, the journey is just as important 
as the destination ;)

Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.  I.e., send parts/car transactions and negotiations as well as other personal messages only to the intended recipient, not to the Clubhouse public address. This practice will protect your privacy, reduce the total volume of mail and fine tune the content signal to Mopar topic.  Thanks!
