    Anyway Bill, I guess the point I've made here is that it takes a certain crazy kind of logic to justify doing the thing we do with old Falcons. I guess you could say the same thing about paying $50 to take your family to the movie, or to a nice dinner. Entertainment value is whatever you are willing to pay.

    Holy crap batman, I wonder what I have invested time wise in my delivery. Thanks for making that abundantly clear.
    Do you think I could sell mine for 1.5 million?? (Hard number is closer to 7K)

    You are right I mean the amount of knowledge (or lack of) gained by doing this and the (mostly) enjoyment of having done it myself is priceless in my book...

    And by all means if anyone finds a good parts car and doesn't have a place for it, call me up. I can store 4 right next to the shop and have another 2-3 acres I can hide them in...

    Bill, I think you tag line says it best: " Looking forward to learning new things".

    I say if you have the room, go for it

    As far as cost of things... I have roughly $8,200 in my wagon including the $3,600 for the original car. I have done most of the work myself (with club members help) and haven't even touched the driveline yet.

    Why do we do this again?

    Thanks guys!

    Thanks guys! That definitely gives me something to ponder. I don't think I would keep the car. If it was a Ranchero..... Maybe. There is just so much going on at the house....lol my shop just got the power on today. Thanks Denny! I'll keep in touch with the guy, and see what else comes of this. I will try and post pics in a day or two.
