Re: Daverods project 66
Well then you won't have a job but you'll still get a disability check and unemployment forever. Look on the good side you should get a lot done on your truck. Get started on the body work, muds cheap. Could have a bad back and no checks or health insurance.

Re: Daverods project 66
Page 70 would be nice. If I have the thing painted by next year at this time I'll be happy. Still have to buy a lot of stuff and stuff. Like a real compressor so I can paint. Looking at one at Lowes for 800.

Re: Daverods project 66
It only matters how much it's worth if your going to sell it. Ya I don't see how people make money fixing up old cars/trucks.

Re: Daverods project 66
Beautiful detail and paint work.
After 14 months in getting my truck up and going - the one thing I learned for sure is: NEVER, EVER RUN A DOLLAR TOTAL ON YOUR PROJECT!

Re: Daverods project 66
oh theres money in most cars, just not trucks. I wonder if they made muscle trucks with 396's that handled like a sports car back then, they would be worth more today.

Re: Daverods project 66
My wife tells me that building old trucks and cars is still cheaper than a girlfriend and lawyer fees or a head shrink or a bar tab....
I keep all the receipts in a big folder (in case I have a problem later) but I have NEVER totaled them up on any thing I have ever built. And I never will. An old and wise friend said to me once and I quote" You know I work on my old cars for fun and relaxation and if I realized how much money I have spent on them ,then it would not be fun anymore" Keep going Dave --Don't look back

Re: Daverods project 66

Re: Daverods project 66
I try to avoid thinking about how much I have spent and especially how much I still need to spend on my truck, it generally results in my curled up in the fetal position sobbing for 30 hours or so.

Re: Daverods project 66
I keep track of everything. I put all my reciepts in a folder for each truck and add everything up about every 3 months. I don't ever plan on selling them but I just like to see where all my $$$$ is going. It's all going in my trucks. I agree with you Bubba it cheaper then a bar tab and it keeps my out of trouble. kinda

Re: Daverods project 66
its actually more than ten but i learned a long time abo to stop counting after a certan stage since it takes away from the joy of making it and its just money not spend on beer and that sortah stuff
i did learn that a lot of little things make for one big moneyhole , and that its sumtimes better to get a partstruck for all those small parts
__________________
i got a job again and having fun at it too idea's for the trucks and the order of things to do are taking shape and get closer to being realized , a few more months and i be able to start building for real i complete 2 of the trucks intoo running fashion one custom and one basicly stock the thirth will be sacrificed for parts |

Re: Daverods project 66
If you guys are spending that much on beer tabs, yall have another problems. I can honestly say in my 28 years of age. I haven't spent more then 500 on beer.

$500 does not buy many beers!!! I know folks who stop at the bar on the way home most every night. I never did think that was the right thing to do.

Re: Daverods project 66
If I could quit drinking big two Rock Stars every day I might have some more cash for my truck. Got my wife to help me flip my frame over. Welded up the bottom f my step notches. My welding has got better, that's a good thing. Still need to box in the frame alittle. Then more painting.

Re: Daverods project 66
What do you do throw all your beer reciepts in a folder and add them up every month. When I was in the Navy I would blow 25 every night and 50 on the weekends. Ya I liked them ice teas. Funny now I can't drink at all. One beer and the next day I feel like a drank a case.
