Re: Grandpa's BEST advice!

I've often wondered walking around the big swap meets, watching all sorts of different people carrying around a vast assortment of different parts, if those parts will ever even get put on the car. Just something I've thought about.

Your grandpa is 100% correct. If I could, I wouldn't even be working on a 67 Firebird, I'd be driving one, but alas, one in the condition I want it in would be $12,000. No way the wife would ever go for that. However, with my car and the low low purchase price of free (dad's old car), I can spend a couple/few grand a year until it's done and she'll never be the wiser of the total cost
