I try to not fall asleep in the big chair before 8 pm and I am up by 4 AM. Early bird gets the worm but they taste like c***!

I am 77 and I have a slowly debilitating muscle disease. I lose muscle strength ever so gradually. If I move too quick and fall over backwards, I usually knock myself out. No drugs for such, only thing that helps is exercise. I don't have the strength to exercise as I would like. I still love...

Everything is relative in life. Most would agree a 71 Hemi Cuda deserves better than maybe a 65 slant Dart. A guy said he spent $60000 on his grandma's 63 Dart because he wanted to and could afford such.

When I mention metal can rust also from the inside, some people think I am crazy. DA that bare metal down good, and anywhere there is a pin hole, YOU better cut that out and weld in good metal, OR it will bubble in a couple of years. Above a ways! $7500 in materials! hahahahahaha Sorry!!!

I am so old and wore out, building anything is such a struggle. I have always done it all myself, 95% of it all. Common sense tells me to finish the two projects I have!

I have absolutely NO idea where people can come up with their personal total "costs" for materials? Really?? I have painted many many cars (MY cars) since the 70s. Some flawless, some just "drivers". Yes, there is a wide difference in costs of top line topcoats. Are the high $ ones needed...

Congrats!!!! Damn the doubters!

Your mouth is running away and your brain is standing still!

Ma would say " makes my *** not want to stove good" when she was pissed off. Never knew exactly what it meant, just that things were not good!! But I am old, and she was old enough to have been m grandmother when I was born. Thats old. Old school saying, for sure!

Depends on the location, the price, and the build. A guy has to be able to get $25,000 for a car before he might find a guy to pay $35,000 for it. But yes, there are more buyers for that 68-70 than the 66-7 for sure.

I agree and someone should tell 99% of the listers of projects on FB Marketplace, especially, that their ask price is 3 times that of reality. I ever so often seen a project listed at pretty close to market value in this todays world. Then I see the $1000 car listed for $10,000 and then it is...

^^^^^So very true!!! The average hobby-ist looks for value per $ spent. The high end $$ Mecum/BJ guy has $ to toss out there for a toy he rarely uses because he also considers it an investment. The low $ guy can hardly afford inflation and groceries, much less a hobby car! The middle $ guy gets...

I do agree. All so true. 66-7 B bodies have always been soft, and maybe even softer today. I have always felt the early b bodies were strong, but we are aging out of those somewhat, 68-70 B bodies are a (sorta) rich man's toy today. There are reasons the A body segment grows stronger every...

I admit I spend most of my Mopar time over on FABO, and I have owned scattered over the decades, many 68-9 RoadRunnners, Bees, but I am priced out of that market, and have built several or so 66 Bel 1 cars. Love em, and I just found a Tx. roller to go see, typical Tx, rust, and complete right...

An original NOT a falling apart copy! $25 plus $10 to ship to lower 48/
