Re: [FWDLK] Mostly Mopars

[Vincent Van Humbeeck <vincent.vanhumbeeck@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have full respect and admiration for all you guys owning several cars,
driving one while restoring another and buying a third one for your next
project.

I bought my '58 Belvedere three years ago as my first ever restoration,
never had the chance to enjoy it as it was not running, and I'm very slowly
progressing, discovering everything along. As I write, I guess I have
something like 30% of the job done, so driving my finned beauty is still
four years away, if I manage to speed up things a little bit and find more
time ! ...

And it's not so much likely, as events of life continue to come along : I
have to do the electricity and the heating system of my new house which will
be ready next spring and I'm the proud father of a little girl born three
weeks ago (and that takes times in your life, no doubt about it).

At that rate, restoring and maintaining more than four cars would take me
well into the 22nd century ... Oh, well, as the Everly brothers said : "All
I have to do is dream".
