I am making less money, and the cost to build what I want is around $15k - $20k - even doing most of the work myself. Have you priced L72 parts and an M22 lately? I just don't see things going in the right direction any time soon. I am getting rid of all my parts and downsizing. I need to be preparing for the worst instead of building more cars.

:D :ntwrthy: Pretty good thinkin'.

With another 4 years of Obama our country will only be getting worse. Romney 2012!:banana:

Carpoor. I sure know what you mean. If I wasn't really crafty sometimes, I'd still be looking at an engineless car. Customers bring me parts vehicles for their projects and then I get to dispose of the carcasses. I sell the parts off I don't need for their vehicle and scrap the rest. It offsets the cost of the customer's project and sometimes I can do quite well with parts sales. Anything I can possibly think of to generate car money out of nothing. Scrapping broken parts from customer's cars is another way. Some yards don't want a core charge, so I just scrap the pieces. After a couple months, I can make a good bit at the recycle yard.

My brother got another '72 to work on, in his shop today. He is better prepared for this one after working on mine. I guess mine was a learning experience, especially with me being so picky. lol

Round 2.... Or is this 3?

Either way. Motor came back today and is going together very fast. Should actually be racing this weekend assuming we hit no snags along the way.

I hate sitting here at work while others are working on my stuff. I want to be there getting my hands dirty!

Not the best, but a photo of the car with my new Billet Specialties. These will likely come off except for trips to the track.

That huge chunk of iron will drop the front a bit and make it look a little better

White boys work fast!

At this rate the car will be finished by the time I get off work!
