Re: Update & wish list.....

[Ruth Gordon <kpmvn4wrd@xxxxxxxxx>]

Toss locic, reasoning and the calculator out the window! Last I knew, there is no cure for our sickness, so just go with it, enjoy the ride, and know you're not alone!  My huband never has to worry where I am or where the money goes... you guessed it, the car, friends call me to ask how the car is - now that's giving me a complex!  My big beautiful thoroughbred horse is pouting, wanting attention and to get out for a ride, only to see me go past him and to work on the car. It's a great day when  UPS car part delivery we've been waiting for arrives. Summer and car season is rapidly passing and we go for it while we can, "back burner" things needing to be done. Hopefully sanity and balance will return when the fall rains come! Ruth

Well, the Dart is apart. The only thing in the front end not showing play
were the inner tie rod ends, so $800 worth of parts later, the labor begins.
Hoping it's done for the weekend. So $900 for the car, $1600 for materials
to do the body, $500 to swap out the tired old engine for a better one,
$1000 for a transmission, $550 for a set of rear leaf springs, $1000 for
killer dual exhaust, and now this. So I'm about $6,350 into a car that has a
current book value of.... About half that? If I'm lucky. :P

Good thing I don't plan on selling this, as the interior will run me another
$1,500, and I have plans to build a stronger engine for next year. Oh, yeah.
A new set of wheels and tires. Yes, I have a sickness. Never before have I
invested more into a car that it can be worth. So why this '62 4-dr post
Dart? Maybe because I can sit it just the half-finished way it is next to
anything at a car show, and attract more attention..... At any rate, I can't
seem to stop wanting to throw money at this beast.... I even sold a '57 Chev
2-dr hardtop in order to concentrate on working on this thing....

That all being said, if anyone has a stock pile of parts collecting dust
that contains stuff I need, please let me know.
- Speedo head
- Driver's door window regulator (4-dr)
- Taillights
- Straight rear bumper
