My justification has always been I got this in 1976 after selling 3 cars I really liked to pay for college, drove the wheels off of it, and now when I finish I will have a cooler new truck for cheaper than buying a new 4WD truck. Recent economy has kind of altered that argument financially but thats my story and I'm sticking to it. You can ALWAYS find something done for cheaper than you can build it, right now I could buy a 1965 Chevelle with a 5K motor, 2K rearend, 2K transmission, recent paint, rebuild disc brake front in, good interior, for 9K, its a 20K car easy. I can't even start to finish my 64 for twice that. My friend is out of work and needs to save his house. You also have to factor in the money you are saving on shrinks and a divorce because you are staying out of the bars.
