The emotions do get in the way. I have thought many times about dragging it home and doing the work. I have the skills to complete most of the work, but would be in a three car garage. Currently, racing Lemons is my expensive hobby. So a couple times a year I have the "race car" in the garage to prep it for a race. The truck would be in the way.
The last engine in it was a 300 hp 350. Duals out the back, glass packs with chrome tips sitting side by side in the middle. LOUD. I used rattle the underpasses leaving stop lights. See there is my problem, sentimental about the darn thing.
