Hi, GAS455. It's a strange and beautiful thing when we come up to an old project car be it a '38 Chev or a GTO. Sometimes your heart will ache for the forlorn beast but realize it should be someone else's problem to deal with. Other times you can just see yourself behind the wheel and doing the serious work needed. It is this SECOND kind of response that says "I can do this" - put in the blood sweat and tears needed - to transform the car into all it could be. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
i think that most of us on this site have the same feelings for these old cars.
the truth is it's an addiction, once you've gotten the bug it never really leaves you. an old car rolls by or you see one sitting and you get the itch again.
glad to see that someone else is passing on the interest to their kids.hopefully this will keep the hobby alive after all the "investors" have jumped ship and the prices fall. this will happen, and when it does the common muscle cars will become affordable again.
